3-4 Receiving & Installation MN715
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.
