Danger

Mandatory

When using the inverter without the front cover, be sure to place the in verter unit inside a

cabinet. If they are used outside the cabinet, it may cause electric shock.

Be grounded

Be sure to ground every unit. If not, it may cause electric shock or fire on the occasion of

failure, short-circuit or electric leak.

(*1): Indicates wire sizes of input terminals R, S, T and output terminals U, V, W. Wiring distance is supposed to
be 30 m at maximum.
(*2): The recommended cable size is that of the cable (e.g. 600V class,HIV cable) with continuous maximum
permissible temperature of 75°C.
(*3): For the control circuit, use shielded wires whose size (cross-section) is 0.75 mm2 or more. The size (cross-
section) of wires supplying control power is 2.0 mm2 or more.
(*4): For the earth cable, use wires larger than the specified ones in size (cross-section). (UL standard)
(*5): Recommended wire size for external braking resistor. Refer to 6.13.4 for use of external braking resistor.
(*6): Do not connect more than two wires to a terminal block (except for terminal blocks of 2900, 4160K to 4280K
and PA terminals of models that have only one PA terminal). If wiring with more than two wires is needed,
set a external relay terminal.
