2.5.4
Applicable cables and wiring length
Select a recommended cable size to ensure that the voltage drop will be 2% or less.
If the wiring distance is long between the inverter and motor, the voltage drop in the main circuit will cause the motor torque to
decrease especially at a low speed.
The following tables for cable selection are one example in the case of a cable of 20 m long used at 440 V power supply.

The gauge of the cable with the continuous maximum permissible temperature of 90°C or higher. (LMFC (heat resistant flexible cross-linked
polyethylene insulated cable), etc.). It is assumed that the cables will be used in a surrounding air temperatures of 40° C or less and housed in
an enclosure.
The recommended cable size is that of the cable (THHN cable) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 90°C. It is assumed that
the cables will be used in a surrounding air temperatures of 40° C or less and housed in an enclosure.

The cable size is that of the cable (XLPE cable) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 90°C. It is assumed that the cables will be
used in a surrounding air temperatures of 40° C or less and housed in an enclosure. (Mainly for use in Europe.)
Screw for R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, U, V, W, P/+, N/-, and the screw for earthing (grounding).
The size of the earthing (grounding) screw is indicated in parentheses.
The line voltage drop can be calculated by the following formula:
× wire resistance [mΩ/m] × wiring distance [m] × current [A]
Line voltage drop [V] =
Use a larger diameter cable when the wiring distance is long or when the voltage drop (torque reduction) in the low speed
range needs to be reduced.
NOTE
• Tighten the terminal screw to the specified torque.
A screw that has been tightened too loosely can cause a short circuit or malfunction.
A screw that has been tightened too tightly can cause a short circuit or malfunction due to the unit breakage.
• Use crimp terminals with insulation sleeves to wire the power supply and motor.
