Depending on the configuration of the equipment, motor wiring may be connected to overload or terminal block.
Torque terminals in accordance with the information provided on the connection diagram inside the cover of the unit.
Motor wiring should never exceed the following maximum distances: 300m (1000 ft) for unshielded, 150m (500 ft) for shielded.
Motor wiring should always be as short as practical.
•Connect the ground wire directly to a reliable earth ground. Grounding studs are provided on the back plate of the panel for grounding.
•Do not use conduit connected to the panel as a replacement for a ground wire.
•A high strand count ground wire is preferred for dissipating high frequency electrical noise.
•Keep the ground wire connections as short as possible.
•Ground the motor to the panel with insulated wire run inside metal conduit with motor leads.

WARNING
GROUNDING HAZARD!
for operator safety, it is important to ground the option panel properly. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE HAZARDS WITH IMPROPERLY INSTALLED AND GROUNDED FIELD WIRING!
Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE
&ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as described in the National Electrical Codes (NEC) and your local/state electrical codes. All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Failure to follow these requirements could result in death or serious injury.
NOTE!
It is the responsibility of the user or certified electrical installer to ensure correct grounding (earthing) of the equipment in accordance with national and local electrical codes and standards.
•Follow all local and national codes for proper electrical equipment grounding (earthing).
•Correct protective grounding of the equipment must be established. Ground currents are higher than 3 mA.
•A dedicated ground wire is required for input ground.
