Step 1: Remove Power 
from the Drive
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 +DC & –DC terminals of the 
Power Terminal Block. The voltage must be zero.
Remove power before making or breaking cable connections. When you 
remove or insert a cable connector with power applied, an electrical arc 
may occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or property damage 
by:
•
sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field devices, causing 
unintended machine motion
•
causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module 
and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance.
