3.3 Main Circuit Wiring
n Cable Length Between Bypass and Motor
Voltage drop along the motor cable may cause reduced motor torque when the wiring between the bypass and the motor is
too long, especially at low frequency output. This can also be a problem when motors are connected in parallel with a fairly
long motor cable. Bypass output current will increase as the leakage current from the cable increases. An increase in leakage
current may trigger an overcurrent situation and weaken the accuracy of the current detection.
Adjust the carrier frequency according to
configuration, reduce the ground currents.
Cable Length
Carrier Frequency
Note: 1. When setting carrier frequency for bypasses running multiple motors, calculate cable length as the total wiring distance to all connected
motors.
2. Do not use a long distance shielded line if there is an overvoltage problem at start. Either lower the carrier frequency or switch on the
internal EMC filter if the power supply has a neutral ground.
n Ground Wiring
Follow the precautions below when wiring the ground for one bypass or a series of bypasses.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard. Before servicing, disconnect all power to the equipment. The internal capacitor remains charged even
after the power supply is turned off. The charge indicator LED will extinguish when the DC bus voltage is below 50 Vdc. To prevent electric
shock, wait for at least the time specified on the warning label, once all indicators are OFF, measure for unsafe voltages to confirm the drive
is safe prior to servicing.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard. Make sure the protective earthing conductor complies with technical standards and local safety
regulations. Because the leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA, IEC 61800-5-1 states that either the power supply must be automatically
disconnected in case of discontinuity of the protective earthing conductor or a protective earthing conductor with a cross-section of at least
2 2
10 mm (Cu) or 16 mm (Al) must be used. Failure to comply may result in death or serious injury.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard. Always use a ground wire that complies with technical standards on electrical equipment and minimize
the length of the ground wire. Improper equipment grounding may cause dangerous electrical potentials on equipment chassis, which could
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard. Be sure to ground the drive ground terminal (208 Vac bypass drive: ground to 100 Ω or less and 480
Vac bypass drive: ground to 10 Ω or less). Improper equipment grounding could result in death or serious injury by contacting ungrounded
electrical equipment.
NOTICE: Do not share the ground wire with other devices such as welding machines or large-current electrical equipment. Improper
equipment grounding could result in drive or equipment malfunction due to electrical interference.
NOTICE: When using more than one drive, ground multiple drives according to instructions. Improper equipment grounding could result in
abnormal operation of drive or equipment.
Refer to Figure 3.1 when using multiple drives. Do not loop the ground wire.
