Mains and motor cables
The mains cables are connected to terminals L1, L2 and L3 and the motor cables to terminals marked with
U, V and W. A cable entry gland should be used when installing the motor cable at both ends in order to
reach the EMC levels. See Table 6-1 for the cable recommmendations for different EMC levels.
Use cables with heat resistance of at least +158 F. The cables and the fuses must be dimensioned according to
the AC drive nominal OUTPUT current which you can find on the rating plate. Dimensioning according to the
output current is recommended because the AC drive input current never significantly exceeds the output
current. Installation of cables according to UL regulations is presented in Chapter 6.1.6.
Table 6-2 and Table 6-3 show the minimum dimensions of the Cu-cables and the corresponding fuse sizes.
Recommended fuse types: gG/gL, see Table 6-2 and Table 6-3;
If the motor temperature protection of the drive (see Vacon All in One Application Manual) is used as an
overload protection, the cable shall be chosen accordingly. If three or more cables are used in parallel for
bigger units each cable requires a separate overload protection.
These instructions apply only to cases with one motor and one cable connection from the AC drive to the
motor. In any other case, ask the factory for more information.
