Electrical Installation

To make electrical connections, use UL listed closed loop connectors that are of

 

appropriate size for wire gauge being used. Connectors are to be installed using crimp

 

tool specified by the manufacturer of the connector. Only Class 1 wiring should be used.

 

Baldor Series H controls feature UL approved adjustable motor overload protection

 

suitable for motors rated at no less than 50% of the output rating of the control. Other

 

governing agencies such as NEC may require separate over-current protection. The

 

installer of this equipment is responsible for complying with the National Electric Code

 

and any applicable local codes which govern such practices as wiring protection,

 

grounding, disconnects and other current protection.

System Grounding

Baldor Controls are designed to be powered from standard three phase lines that are

 

electrically symmetrical with respect to ground. System grounding is an important step in

 

the overall installation to prevent problems. The recommended grounding method is

 

shown in Figure 3-1.
