Installation Guidelines
This chapter provides guidelines for installing and replacing the SA500 DC bus supply. 
Instructions are included describing how to select a bus supply based on the bus 
supply’s current rating and the combined current draw of the motors attached to the 
bus supply through the SA500 AC Power Modules. For those installations where 
greater regenerative power dissipation requires the use of a bus supply with external 
braking resistors, a procedure is provided to assist in the selection of the proper 
braking resistors. Refer to the wiring diagrams supplied with your system for specific 
installation information.

ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with the construction and 
operation of this equipment and the hazards involved should install, 
adjust, operate, or service this equipment. Read and understand this 
manual and other applicable manuals in their entirety before proceeding. 
Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or 
loss of life.
ATTENTION: DC bus capacitors retain hazardous voltages after input 
power has been disconnected. After disconnecting input power from the 
DC bus supply, wait five (5) minutes and then measure the voltage at the 
POS and NEG terminals of the DC bus supply and each Power Module 
to ensure the DC bus capacitors are discharged before touching any 
internal components. Failure to observe this precaution could result in 
severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: Ungrounded equipment presents a shock hazard. If your 
drive cabinet is mounted such that the cabinet is not grounded, a ground 
wire must be connected to the cabinet for personnel safety. Failure to 
observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: The user is responsible for conforming with all applicable 
local, national, and international codes. Failure to observe this precaution 
could result in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
ATTENTION: Equipment must be connected to a power source for which 
it was designed. Verify that the available input is 230 VAC. Failure to 
observe this precaution could result in damage to, or destruction of, the 
equipment.
