Motor Cable Length

Maximum motor cable length is 164 ft (50 m). Motor
cable length is given to ensure performance of only
the SED2, not the suitability of the motor when
connected to a SED2 at this distance. See Figure 8
for motor cable installation notes.
!
1. Never run control or drive input
2. Keep the distance from the drive
to the motor as short as possible
3. If needed, use
SBT-specified input line reactors
to ensure a good impedance match
with your drive.

Motor Connection

The motor nameplate indicates the required supply
voltage and method of connection (delta, Δ, or
star/wye, 'Y', configuration). Connect motor wiring to
SED2 terminals U, V, and W. See Figure 9.
4. If a disconnect is mounted on the
load side of your drive, it is desirable
to wire an auxiliary contact to the drive
that will disable drive operation when
the disconnect opens. (The wiring for
this contact must not be run in the same
conduit as the drive output wires).

5. Inverter duty motors are recommended.
Install motors within their guidelines. Use
dV/dT filters, output reactors, or other load
conditioners as applicable or as specified
by the motor manufacturer.
