Grounding Requirements

The drive Safety Ground-PE must be connected to system ground.

Ground

impedance must conform to the requirements of national and local industrial
safety regulations and/or electrical codes. The integrity of all ground connections
should be periodically checked.

Recommended Grounding Scheme

A single point (PE only) grounding scheme should be used. Some applications
may require alternate grounding schemes, refer to Wiring and Grounding
Guidelines for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives, publication
DRIVES-IN001, for more information. These applications include installations
with long distances between drives or drive line-ups, which could cause large
potential differences between the drive or line-up grounds.

For installations within an enclosure, a single safety ground point or ground bus
bar connected directly to building steel should be used. All circuits including the
AC input ground conductor should be grounded independently and directly to
this point/bar.

Typical Grounding

Shield Termination - SHLD

The Shield terminal provides a grounding point for the motor cable shield. It
must be connected to an earth ground by a separate continuous lead. The motor
cable

shield should be connected to this terminal on the drive (drive end) and the

motor frame (motor end). Use a shield terminating or EMI clamp to connect
shield to this terminal.
