Important: Common mode capacitors are used to conform with the EMC
directives. Removing these devices may withdraw the associated 
directive.
In addition, on an ungrounded distribution system where the line-to-ground 
voltages on any phase could exceed 125% of the nominal line-to-line voltage, an 
isolation transformer should be installed. See Wiring and Grounding Guidelines 
for PWM AC Drives, publication DRIVES-IN001 for more information on 
impedance grounded and ungrounded systems.
!
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable 
frequency AC drives and associated machinery should perform 
maintenance/repair of the system. Failure to comply may result in 
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
!
ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the 
voltage on the bus capacitors has discharged before performing any 
work on the drive. Measure the DC bus voltage at the following 
points (refer to the User Manual for locations):
• +DC and -DC terminals of the Power Terminal Block
• +DC terminal of the Power Terminal Block and the chassis
• -DC terminal of the Power Terminal Block and the chassis
The voltage must be zero for all three measurements.
!
ATTENTION: The following information is merely a guide for 
proper installation. Rockwell Automation cannot assume 
responsibility for the compliance or the noncompliance to any code, 
national, local or otherwise for the proper installation of this drive or 
associated equipment. A hazard of personal injury and/or equipment 
damage exists if codes are ignored during installation.
Power Source Type
(1)
(1)
It is highly recommended to accurately determine the power source type and then configure appropriately.
MOV/Input 
Filter Caps

(2)
When MOVs are disconnected, the power system must have its own transient protection to ensure known and 
controlled voltages.

Benefits Of Correct Configuration 
on Power Source Type
Solid Ground
• AC fed, solidly grounded
• DC fed from passive rectifier 
which has an AC source and 
solid ground
Connected
Connected
• UL compliance,
• Reduced electrical noise,
• Most stable operation,
• EMC compliance,
• Reduced voltage stress on 
components and motor bearings
Non-Solid Ground
• AC fed ungrounded
• Impedance grounded
• High resistive ground
• B phase ground
• Regenerative unit such as 
common DC bus supply & brake
• DC fed from an active converter
Disconnected
Disconnected
• Helps avoid severe equipment
damage when ground fault 
occurs
