Guidelines
To ensure proper wiring, use the following guidelines:
Use heat-resistant copper cables only, +75°C or higher.
●
The input line cable and line fuses must be sized in accordance with the rated input
●
current of the unit. See Tables 3-2 and 3-5.
Consistent with UL listing requirements, for maximum protection of the VSD Series
●
drive, UL recognized fuses type RK should be used.
If motor temperature sensing is used for overload protection, the output wire size may
●
be selected based on the motor specifications.
If three or more shielded cables are used in parallel for the output on the larger units,
●
every cable must have its own overload protection.
Avoid placing the motor cables in long parallel lines with other cables.
●
If the motor cables run in parallel with other cables, note the minimum distances
●
between the motor cables and other cables given in Table 3-1 below:

Table 3-1: Cable Spacings

Minimum Distance Between Cables in Feet (m)
1 (0.3)
3.3 (1.0)
The spacings of Table 3-1 also apply between the motor cables and signal cables of
●
other systems.
Maximum length of the motor cables is as follows:
●
– 1 – 2 hp 230V units, 328 ft. (100m); filters required on lead length ≥175 ft.
– All other hp units, 984 ft. (300m); filters required on lead length ≥200 ft.
Note: Lead lengths ≥500 ft. require sine wave filter for all voltages.
The motor cables should cross other cables at an angle of 90 degrees.
●
If conduit is being used for wiring, use separate conduits for the input power wiring,
●
the output power wiring, the signal wiring, and the control wiring.
For Frame 4 installations, refer to conduit mounting requirements in Chapter 4.
