Installation/Wiring Chapter 1
Other types of shielded cable are available, but the selection of these types may
limit the allowable cable length. Particularly, some of the newer cables twist 4
conductors of THHN wire and wrap them tightly with a foil shield. This
construction can greatly increase the cable charging current required and reduce
the overall drive performance. Unless specified in the individual distance tables as
tested with the drive, these cables are not recommended and their performance
against the lead length limits supplied is not known.
Reflected Wave Protection
The drive should be installed as close to the motor as possible. Installations with
long motor cables may require the addition of external devices to limit voltage
reflections at the motor (reflected wave phenomena). Refer to Reflected Wave in
“Wiring and Grounding Guide, (PWM) AC Drives,” publication DRIVES-
IN001.
The reflected wave data applies to all carrier frequencies 2...16 kHz.
For 240V ratings and lower, reflected wave effects do not need to be considered.
Output Disconnect
The drive is intended to be commanded by control input signals that will start
and stop the motor. A device that routinely disconnects then reapplies output
power to the motor for the purpose of starting and stopping the motor should
not be used. If it is necessary to disconnect power to the motor with the drive
outputting power, an auxiliary contact should be used to simultaneously disable
drive (Aux Fault or Coast to Stop).
