WIRING
Power Wiring / Communication Cable Connections
Best practice dictates using solderless ring or fork terminals at all power wiring and communica-
tion cable terminations. Use copper bearing ring or fork terminals;
nickle plate over steel. Use appropriate crimping tool to attach the ring or fork terminals at all
power wiring and control cable terminations. To install:
• Firmly attach the wire; secure in a way to prevent external forces from being imparted to the
terminal block.
• Use an appropriately sized screwdriver for tightening the terminals.
•
Do not overtighten the connections; overtightening will damage the terminals.
If ring terminals or fork terminals are not available, then:
•
Do not terminate different gauge wires to the power terminal block. (Slack in the wiring will generate heat.)
• When terminating wires of the same thickness, follow the instructions demonstrated in the figures below.
Figure 38: Proper and Improper Power Wiring Connections.
Terminate multiple power wires of
the same gauge to both sides.

Terminal Connections
LG uses a "JIS" type of screw for all terminals; use a JIS screwdriver to tighten and
loosen these screws and
connections — overtightening will damage the terminals — but firmly and securely at-
tach the wiring in a way to prevent external forces from being imparted to the terminal
block.
