E-AC Drive Hardware Installation Guide
8 – CONNECT AC POWER
At this point in your installation procedure, you should have mounted
your drive and motor, coupled the motor to the load, and connected the
controller and motor cables to the drive.
The E-AC Drive does not have an on/off switch. When you apply power to
the drive, the drive will turn on. Therefore, before you apply power, verify
the following:
•Motor should be properly secured
•Motor cable should be connected to drive
•Drive should be properly mounted
•Controller cable should be connected to drive
•Controller cable should not be in close physical proximity to motor cable
