Insulation Barrier
Insulation barriers are packaged with drive models 4A0414 through 4A1200 to provide added protection between terminals.
Yaskawa recommends using the provided insulation barriers to ensure proper wiring. Refer to
for instructions on
placement of the insulation barriers.

Main Circuit Wire Gauges and Tightening Torque
Use the tables in this section to select the appropriate wires and crimp terminals.
Gauges listed in the tables are for use in the United States.
Note:
1.
Wire gauge recommendations based on drive continuous current ratings (ND) using 75 °C 600 Vac vinyl-sheathed wire assuming ambient
temperature within 40 °C and wiring distance less than 100 m.

, B1 and B2 are for connecting optional power devices. Use caution to connect only approved devices to the
correct terminal(s).
• Consider the amount of voltage drop when selecting wire gauges. Increase the wire gauge when the voltage drop is greater
than 2% of motor rated voltage. Ensure the wire gauge is suitable for the terminal block. Use the following formula to
calculate the amount of voltage drop:
Line drop voltage (V) = 3 × wire resistance (Ω/km) × wire length (m) × current (A) × 10

• Refer to instruction manual TOBP C720600 00 for braking transistor option or braking resistor option wire gauges.
• Use terminals

when installing a CDBR-type braking unit on drives with built-in braking transistors (models
2A0004 to 2A0138, 4A0002 to 4A0072, and 5A0003 to 5A0052).

Refer to UL Standards Compliance on page 61
for information on UL compliance.
Yaskawa recommends using closed-loop crimp terminals on all drive models. UL/cUL approval requires the use of closed-
loop crimp terminals when wiring the drive main circuit terminals on models 2A0110 to 2A0415 and 4A0058 to 4A1200. Use
only the tools recommended by the terminal manufacturer for crimping.
Refer to Closed-Loop Crimp Terminal Size on page
for closed-loop crimp terminal recommendations.
The wire gauges listed in the following tables are Yaskawa recommendations. Refer to local codes for proper wire gauge
selections.
