Finding Wire-Routing
Locations and
Grounding the Drive
This chapter shows entry areas where wiring is to be routed in and
out of the drive and how to properly ground it.
5.1 Routing Input, Motor Output, Ground,
and Control Wiring for the Drive
All wiring must be installed in conformance with applicable local,
national, and international codes, such as NEC/CEC. Signal wiring,
control wiring, and power wiring must be routed in separate
conduits to prevent interference with drive operation.
Note that no wires are to be routed behind the drive. Use grommets,
when hubs are not provided, to guard against wire chafing.
Figure 5.1 shows the wire routing, grounding terminal, and power
terminal blocks of the SP600 AC drives.
Do not route more than three sets of motor leads through a single
conduit. This will minimize cross-talk that could reduce the
effectiveness of noise reduction methods. If more than three
drive/motor connections per conduit are required, shielded cable
must be used. If possible, each conduit should contain only one set
of motor leads.
If additional wiring access is needed, the Cable Entry Plate (item —
in figure 5.1) on all drive frames can be removed. Simply loosen the
screws securing the plate to the heat sink and slide the plate out.
!
ATTENTION: Do not route signal and control wiring with power
wiring in the same conduit. This can cause interference with
drive operation. Failure to observe this precaution could result
in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
