circumstances it may also be necessary to fit a brake to a rotary motor. This is important with
hanging loads where disconnecting the motor windings could result in the load falling. Contact
your local supplier for details of appropriate brakes.
CAUTION: If an M-Contactor is installed, the MintDrive
Ensure that shielding of the motor cable is continued on both sides of the contactor.
