Grounding the Drive

The customer must supply a grounding conductor between the ground lug
of the drive and the ground lug in the cabinet. For PE ground terminal
location, see

Figure 2.15

. Tighten the ground connection to the

recommended torque shown in

Table 2.B

.

Ungrounded or Resistive
Grounded Installations

PowerFlex 700L Frame 2 drives are equipped with a common mode input
filter capacitor and MOV that are referenced to ground. If the drive is
installed on a resistive ground or ungrounded distribution system,
disconnect this capacitor and MOV to prevent drive damage.

Disconnecting the Common Mode Capacitor

To disconnect the 1 µF common mode capacitor from the circuit, see

Figure 2.11

and perform the following steps.

1. Disconnect the Faston wire from the 1 µF common mode capacitor.

2. Insulate the wire end by applying a wire nut or electrical tape.

3. Tie wrap the disconnected wire to keep it away from any electrical

connections.

Disconnecting the MOV from Ground

To disconnect the MOV from ground, see

Figure 2.11

and perform the

following steps.

1. Unbolt the ground wire lug from the MOV’s ground connection point.

2. Screw the bolt back into the panel.

3. Cut the lug off the disconnected ground wire and apply a wire nut to its

end.

4. Tie wrap the disconnected ground wire to keep it away from any

electrical connections.

For more information on ungrounded distribution systems, see Wiring and
Grounding Guidelines for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives,
publication DRIVES-IN001. Note: Removing the Common Mode capacitor
and input MOVs makes the drive more vulnerable to high voltage line
spikes.

ATTENTION: The user is responsible for conforming with all
applicable local, national, and international codes. Failure to
observe this precaution can result in damage to, or destruction of,
the equipment.
