Installation/Wiring Mounting Considerations • Mount the drive upright on a flat, vertical and level surface. – Install on 35 mm DIN Rail. – Install with screws. Table 1.A Screw Mounting Recommendations Minimum Panel Thickness Screw Size Mounting Torque 1.9 mm (0.0747 in.) m4 x 0.7 (#8-32) 1.56-1.96 Nm (14-17 lb.-in.) •...
Installation/Wiring AC Supply Source Considerations Ungrounded Distribution Systems ATTENTION: PowerFlex 4 drives contain protective MOVs that are referenced to ground. These devices should be disconnected if the drive is installed on an ungrounded distribution system. Disconnecting MOVs To prevent drive damage, the MOVs connected to ground shall be disconnected if the drive is installed on an ungrounded distribution system where the line-to-ground voltages on any phase could exceed 125% of the nominal line-to-line voltage.
Installation/Wiring Input Power Conditioning The drive is suitable for direct connection to input power within the rated voltage of the drive (see Appendix A). Listed in Table 1.C are certain input power conditions which may cause component damage or reduction in product life. If any of the conditions exist, as described in Table 1.C, install one of the devices listed under the heading Corrective Action on the line side of the drive.
Page 15
Installation/Wiring Ground Fault Monitoring If a system ground fault monitor (RCD) is to be used, only Type B (adjustable) devices should be used to avoid nuisance tripping. Safety Ground - (PE) This is the safety ground for the drive that is required by code. One of these points must be connected to adjacent building steel (girder, joist), a floor ground rod or bus bar.
Installation/Wiring Fuses and Circuit Breakers The PowerFlex 4 does not provide branch short circuit protection. This product should be installed with either input fuses or an input circuit breaker. National and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes may determine additional requirements for these installations. ATTENTION: To guard against personal injury and/or equipment damage caused by improper fusing or circuit breaker selection, use only the recommended line fuses/circuit breakers specified in this section.
Installation/Wiring Power Wiring ATTENTION: National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI, etc.) and local codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical equipment. Installation must comply with specifications regarding wire types, conductor sizes, branch circuit protection and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
Page 19
Installation/Wiring Reflected Wave Protection The drive should be installed as close to the motor as possible. Installations with long motor cables may require the addition of external devices to limit voltage reflections at the motor (reflected wave phenomena). See Table 1.E for recommendations.

Replace the finger guard when wiring is complete. Figure 1.4 Power Terminal Block (A Frame Shown) R/L1 S/L2...
Installation/Wiring 1-11 I/O Wiring Recommendations Motor Start/Stop Precautions ATTENTION: A contactor or other device that routinely disconnects and reapplies the AC line to the drive to start and stop the motor can cause drive hardware damage. The drive is designed to use control input signals that will start and stop the motor.
