Installation

Wiring

Wiring sizes and practices, as well as grounding and shielding
techniques are described in the sections listed below. Refer to the
“Power Wiring Diagrams” on page 5-11 for graphic depictions and
recommended wire gaging.

The descriptions represent common wiring practices and should prove
satisfactory in the majority of applications.

Minimum wire gages for power cables are listed in:

“Motor Power Contact and Wire Sizing Recommendations” on
page 7-5

“AC Input Power Sizing Requirements” on page 7-9

“Auxiliary Power Sizing Requirements” on page 7-10

Electromagnetic Compatibility

General Guidelines

Appendix E, “Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines for Machine
Design” con
tains guidelines for reducing electrical noise and
increasing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) plus a discussion of
electromagnetic interference (EMI).

European Union EMC Directives

The ULTRA 200 Series drives are designed and tested to meet the
European EMC Directive. Declarations of conformity, which
enumerate the standards used, are available upon request. Two
installation requirements are necessary to meet the directives:

1. Use of an external AC line filter on the main AC input, and

2. Use of Allen-Bradley cables.

Qualified AC Line Filters

Listed below are AC line filters that have been qualified for use with
ULTRA 200 Series drives. Filters equivalent to those listed are widely
available, and Allen-Bradley does not recommend one manufacturer
over another. The machine builder is responsible for the suitability of
the filter selection when using different filters. These filters can be
used for distributing power to multiple drives, rather than using an
individual filter for each drive. Further information is available from
the manufacturer.

Note: Cables, listed in Appendix A, “Options and Accessories”, are
not
rated for continuous flexing.
