Installation/Wiring

2. Run a suitable equipment grounding conductor unbroken from the drive

to the motor’s ground terminal and then to earth ground. Use one of the
bolts that pass through the drive baseplate and are used to fasten the drive
to the wall or cabinet. See

Figure 1.6

. Tighten these grounding

connections to the proper torque as shown in

Table 1.D

.

3. Connect a suitable grounding conductor to the motor frame and the

remote control station (if used). Run each conductor unbroken to earth
ground. When adding more than one grounding conductor wire to a
single chassis ground, twist the conductors together. Tighten these
grounding connections to the proper torque as shown in

Table 1.D

.

4. Close the door of the enclosure.

Coolant Considerations

LPM20 drives use o-ring face seal fittings for connection to the coolant
supply. The coolant is typically clean water with a corrosion inhibitor as
described in this section.

LPM20 drive coolant connections are made with o-ring face seal fittings.
The copper tube running from the heatsink to the o-ring fittings is covered
with closed cell foam insulation.

The mating connection is shown in

Figure 1.7

. The mating process includes

the following steps:

1. Coat the o-ring with the o-ring lubricant. The goal is a thin film covering

the entire o-ring surface. Avoid excess globs of lubricant.

2. Insert the o-ring into the o-ring groove in the external thread-side fitting

on the user side. Avoid any twisting of the o-ring.

3. Assemble the fittings and tighten to a torque of 37 to 45 N-m (or 27 to 33

lb.-ft.). Use a backup wrench on the user side fitting to avoid twisting the
drive side tubing.
