P30 and S30 Low Voltage VSD
8. Use lockout/tag out procedures (SEN-HSE-S027) before connecting three-phase power of the correct
voltage to input terminals (L1, L2, L3 [R, S, T]) and connect three-phase power from output terminals
(T1, T2, T3 [U, V, W]) to a motor of the correct voltage and type for the application. Size the conductors
in accordance with section
9. If conductors of a smaller than recommended size are used in parallel to share current, then the
conductors should be kept together in sets, i.e., U1, V1, W1 in one conduit and U2, V2, W2 in another.
National and local electrical codes should be checked for possible cable derating factors if more than
three power conductors are run in the same conduit through the same hole in the cabinet or through a
non-metallic flange or bulkhead.
Temperatures can become excessive if phase U1, U2, and/or U3 cables are in proximity to each other
(eddy current field effect).
10. Use separate metal conduits for routing the input power, output power, and control circuits.
11. Installation of drive systems should conform to the National Electrical Code, regulations of the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and all national, regional, or industry codes and
standards when installed in the United States. Other codes may apply if installed outside of the US.
Potential Severity: Serious
Potential Loss: Assets, Personnel
Hazard Category: Electrical, Explosives
Power factor improvement capacitors or surge absorbers must not be installed on the VSDs
output.
12. Never install any type of starter(s) or contactor(s) on the drive output to switch motor loads
instantaneously.
13. Only qualified personnel should install this equipment.
7.2 INPUT AND OUTPUT POWER WIRING
Complete the following procedures to connect to the input and output of the drive. Refer to
for power cable sizing and grounding connections.
1. Connect the incoming cables to input terminals L1, L2, and L3.
2. Connect the outgoing cables to the output terminals T1, T2, and T3.
7.3 OPTION MODULES INSTALLATION (INTO DRIVE CONTROL POD)
Each drive has a slot-based architecture. Option modules provide additional analog and digital I/O, feedback,
and auxiliary power options.
7.3.1 ACCESS DRIVE CONTROL POD
To access the drive control pod, follow these steps.
1. Remove the drive cover.
For Frames 1...5, follow these steps.
a. Squeeze locking tabs and pull out bottom of cover.
b. Pull cover down and away from the chassis.
