4.3 Grounding the Drive

DANGER

THE USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFORMING WITH ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND

INTERNATIONAL CODES. WIRING PRACTICES, GROUNDING, DISCONNECTS, AND

OVERCURRENT PROTECTION ARE OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS

PRECAUTION COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

Use the following steps to ground the drive:
Step 1. Remove the drive's cover.
Step 2. Run a suitable equipment grounding conductor unbroken from the drive's ground terminal

to the motor's ground terminal and then to earth ground. See figures 4.1 to 4.6, 5.1, and

5.2.

Step 3. Connect a suitable grounding conductor to the motor frame, the remote control station (if

used), and the transformer. Run each conductor unbroken to earth ground.
Note that to conform with CSA requirements, when adding more than one grounding

conductor wire to a single chassis ground, twist the conductors together.

Step 4. ReĆattach the drive's cover.
