Determine conduit entry and exit locations on 
the enclosure before mounting. See the 
appropriate Outline drawing for 
recommended conduit locations. 
Allow for power in and power out wiring to be 
located in separate conduit. 
No conduit holes are provided in the 
enclosure; therefore the customer must install 
all conduit holes. Place a protective covering 
over the components of the panel while 
installing the conduit holes. 
 
 
 
 
For NEMA 12/3R4/4X enclosure types, liquid 
tight conduit and fittings shall be installed to 
maintain the enclosure integrity. 
 
2.5 Grounding
 
All field wiring shall be copper and have a 
minimum insulation rating of 75
C (167
F).
 
Size grounding conductors according to local 
and national codes. 
 
Each panel contains a grounding bus with 
provisions for connecting a field-grounding 
conductor. 
 
All panels/enclosures must be grounded. 
Grounding methods must comply to local and 
national codes. 
 
2.6 Power Wire (Greater than
120 VAC)
All field wiring shall be copper and have a 
minimum insulation rating of 75
C (167
F).
Size all wire based on panel nameplate 
current ratings in accordance with local and 
national codes. Do not use the cable sizes 
listed in DET - 609 & DET - 610. 
 
All power wiring must be routed away from 
other wiring. Avoid running power wiring 
parallel to other wiring without a minimum 
separation distance of four (4) inches. Power 
wiring should only cross perpendicular to 
other wiring. 
 
Input and output power shall be connected as 
per the wiring diagram. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
For drive panels of certain HP ratings and 
panel configuration, no lugs are provided with 
core drive, load reactor, contactor or overload 
relay. Use appropriate size UL listed ring or 
fork or suitable ferrule to terminate the cables 
on busbars terminals of core drive, load 
reactor, contactor or overload relay. 
 
 
 
 
 
2.7 Control Wiring (120 VAC)
All field wiring shall have a minimum 
insulation rating of 75
C (167
F).
 
Size wire according to local and national 
codes. 
 
CAUTION: Do not connect power supply 
voltage greater than panel rated voltage, 
or damage will occur to equipment. 
WARNING: Never connect or disconnect 
input wiring with voltage applied, a serious 
or fatal injury may result. 
CAUTION: Failure to cover components from 
metal shavings may result in damage to 
equipment. 
WARNING: Never connect or disconnect 
output wiring with voltage applied, a 
serious or fatal injury may result.
