Connection to Power Section
The following figure shows the general connections for the 
frequency inverter in the power section.
Three-Phase Input Connection
Terminal Designations in the Power Section
●
L1, L2/N, L3: Connection terminals for the supply voltage 
(input, input voltage):
●
Single-phase AC voltage: connection to L2/N and L3 on 
MMX11_
●
Single phase AC voltage: Connection to L1 and L2/N 
with MMX12_
●
Three-phase AC voltage: Connection to: L1, L2/, L3 with 
MMX32_, MMX34_ and MMX35_.
●
U/T1, V/T2, W/T3: Connection terminals for the 
three-phase line to the AC motor (output, frequency 
inverter)
●
 PE: connection for protective ground (reference 
potential). PES with mounted cable routing plate for 
shielded cables
●
R+, R–: Connection terminals for external brake resistance 
(only with MMX32_, MMX34_ and MMX35_, output 
braking transistor)
Connection to Power Section
Ground Connection The ground connection is connected directly with the cable 
clamp plates.
The shielded cables between the frequency inverter and the 
motor should be as short as possible. Connect the shielding 
on both ends and over a large surface area with protective 
ground PES (Protective Earth Shielding). You can connect the 
shielding of the motor cable directly to the cable clamp plate 
(360 degrees coverage) with the protective ground.
The frequency inverter must always be connected to the 
ground potential via a grounding cable (PE).
