1. Common to all Models 1-1. Precautions for Use Caution (1)Terminal Box For your safety, do not open the cover whenever energizing. Also, do not remove the clamp of the cable ground. Caution (2)Protective Device The electric motor does not come with any protective device. In order to prevent explosions, ignition, burnout, etc., it is recommended to install protective devices other than overload protection devices (leakage circuit breakers, etc.). Caution (3)Inverter (MDF series only) Be sure to install it indoors in a non-hazardous area. The inverter is non-explosion-proof. The parameter values of the inverter should never be changed in the fixed (locked) items described in each chapter. It is not covered by the warranty for use with changes to the fixed (locked) items. 1-2. Wiring Warning In ...
1-3. Maintenance and Inspection Warning Explosion-proof/safety enhanced explosion-proof electric motors, explosion-proof properties must be ensured. When performing maintenance and inspections, be sure to have a maintenance person on site who has knowledge and skills about explosion-proof structures, construction of electrical equipment, related laws and regulations, and classification of hazardous areas. 1-4. Blower Usage Please use according to the [Blower Instruction Manual and Precautions]. 1-5. Electric Motors Series (1)Explosion-proof electric motor (MD series) Explosion-proof electric motors are designed to withstand explosion pressure in the event of an explosion caused by gas or steam entering the motor and to prevent propagation of the fire caused by the explosion to the gas or steam outside the motor.

4-4. Wiring Warning (1)Connecting the ground wire of the terminal box ①To prevent electric shock accidents, be sure to connect the ground wire. ②Connect the ground wire from the marked part. ③For MD and MDF series (excluding MD series 0.2kW), connect the ground wire by sandwiching it between two flat washers. (See Figure 1) The cross-sectional area of the ground wire connected to the outside of the terminal box should be at least 4㎟. (See Figure 2) The cross-sectional area of the ground wire connected to the inside of the terminal box should be the same as the power wire connected to the lead wire.
