76 DC1 Variable Frequency Drive 04/16 MN04020003Z-EN www.eaton.com
3.6.1 Connection to power section
The connection to the power section is normally made via the connection 
terminals:
• L1/L, L2/N, L3, PE for
 
the mains-side supply voltage.
The phase sequence does not matter.
• DC+, DC-, PE for DC link coupling or if the device is being supplied 
with DC voltage
• U, V, W, PE for the connection to the motor
• BR, DC+, PE for an external brake resistor

The number and the arrangement of the connection terminals used depend 
on the variable frequency drive’s size and model.
NOTICE
The variable frequency drive must always be connected with 
ground potential via a grounding conductor (PE).
