Grounding

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 through 4.4 and 5.1.

Step 3. Connect a suitable grounding connector to the motor frame and transformer

(if used). Run each conductor unbroken to earth ground.

When adding more than one grounding conductor wire to a single chassis
ground, twist the conductors together.

Step 4. Reattach the drive’s cover.
