z
The power supply and output PE terminals must be connected to ground to increase noise
immunity of the built-in Filter.
Connect the power cable including Earth as shown
Panel grounding
Connect a metal cable clamp
(or the screen of the cable)
to the motor ground terminal.
The motor cable length should be shorter than 5m.
A Shielded (Screened) or
steel wire amoured cable
must be used. Strip the
cable cover and use a
metal (Copper) clamp to
bond to the panel back
plate.

(A)The control circuit wiring and main circuit wire/ other high voltage/current
power wiring should be separated to avoid noise interruption.
z
In order to prevent noise interference which could cause inverter faults, the control circuit signal
should be shielded and twisted. Please refer to figure 3-12. The wiring distance should be less
than 150ft (50m).
(B)Connect ground terminals as follows:
(200V class ground <100
Ω
; 400V class ground
<10
Ω
.)
z
Ground wiring AWG is sized per the electrical equipment specifications and should be made as
short as possible.
z
Do not share the ground of the inverter with other high current loads (welding machine, high power
motor).Connect the terminal to its own ground.
z
Do not make a loop when several inverters share a common ground point.
