Inverter Mounting

and Installation

 

 

Power Wiring Access - First, ensure no power source of any kind is connected to the inverter. If power has been connected, wait five minutes after powerdown and verify the Power LED is OFF to proceed. After removing the front housing cover, the housing partition that covers the power wiring exit will be able to slide upward as shown to the right.

Notice the four wire exit slots (on larger model inverters) in the housing partition. This helps keep the power wiring (to the left) separate from signal-level logic or analog wiring (to the right).

Remove the housing partition and as shown as set it aside in a secure place while wiring. Never operate the inverter drive with the partition removed or the front housing cover removed.

The power input and motor 3-phase wiring connect to the lower row of terminals. The upper row of power terminals connect to optional dynamic braking components.

The following sections in this chapter will describe the system design and guide you through a step-by-step installation process. After the section on wiring, this chapter will show how to use the front panel keys to access functions and edit parameters.
