7. Prepare the ends of the input power cable and motor cable as illustrated in the figure. If
you use aluminum cables, put grease to the peeled aluminum cable before connecting it to
the drive. Two different motor cable types are shown in the figures (7a, 7b).
Note:
The bare shield is grounded 360 degrees. Mark the pigtail made from the shield as a PE
conductor with yellow-and-green color.

8. Slide the cables through the holes of the lead-through plate and attach the
grommets to the holes (the motor cable to the right and the input power cable to
the left).
9. Connect the motor cable as follows:
• Ground the shield 360 degrees under the grounding clamps.
• Connect the twisted shield of the cable to the grounding terminal (9a).
• Connect the phase conductors of the cable to terminals T1/U, T2/V and T3/W.
Tighten the screws to the torque given in the figure (9b).

Note: Frame R8 only:
• If you connected the connector to only one conductor, ABB recommends to put the
conductor under the upper pressure plate.
• The connectors are detachable, but ABB recommends not to detach them. If you do,
detach and reinstall the connectors as follows.
