Power cable terminal and lead-through data
Input, motor, resistor and DC cable lead-throughs, maximum wire sizes (per phase) 
and terminal screw sizes. 
Note: Minimum wire size does not necessarily have enough current capability for full 
load. Make sure the installation complies with local laws and regulations.
