Power Terminal Block Specifications
Input Power Conditions
If drives with internal precharge are used with a disconnect switch to the
common bus, then an auxiliary contact on the disconnect must be
connected to a digital input of the drive. The corresponding input
(parameter A051-A054) must be set to option 29, “Precharge Enable.”
This provides the proper precharge interlock, guarding against possible
damage to the drive when connected to a common DC bus.

(1)
For drives applied on an open delta with a middle phase grounded neutral system, the
phase opposite the phase that is tapped in the middle to the neutral or earth is
referred to as the “stinger leg,” “high leg,” “red leg,” etc. This leg should be identified
throughout the system with red or orange tape on the wire at each connection point.
The stinger leg should be connected to the center Phase B on the reactor. Refer to the
PowerFlex 40P User Manual for specific line reactor part numbers.
