3.2. Mains Connection
3.2.1. Connecting to Mains
Step 1: First mount earth cable.
Step 2: Mount wires in terminals L1/L, L2 and
L3/N and tighten.
Illustration 3.1: Mounting of earth cable and mains
wires.
For 3-phase connection, connect wires to all
three terminals.
For single-phase connection, connect wires to
terminals L1/L and L3/N.

wire connections.
3.3. Motor Connection
3.3.1. How to Connect the Motor
See the chapter
Specifications
for correct dimensioning of motor cable cross-section and length.
• Use a shielded/armored motor cable to comply with EMC emission specifications, and
connect this cable to both the decoupling plate and the motor metal.
• Keep motor cable as short as possible to reduce the noise level and leakage currents.
For further details on mounting of the decoupling plate, please see instruction MI.02.BX.YY.
All types of three-phased asynchronous
standard motors can be connected to the fre-
quency converter. Normally, small motors are
star-connected (230/400 V, Δ/Y). Large mo-
tors are delta-connected (400/690 V, Δ/Y).
Refer to motor nameplate for correct connec-
tion and voltage.
