Appendix D—Safety Instructions for UL and cUL
CAUTION
The UL and cUL compliance can be maintained only if this drive
is installed according to the requirements of Appendix D —
Safety Instructions for UL and cUL. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in UL and cUL non-compliance.
UL Standards Compliance
This drive is tested in accordance with UL508C and CSA 
C22.2 No. 274-13 and is found to comply with these 
requirements. To ensure continued compliance when 
using this drive or when using it in combination with 
other equipment, meet the following conditions.
General 
●
This drive should be operated at a maximum ambient 
temperature of 40°C in low overload (VT) rating and 50°C 
in high overload (CT) rating
●
This drive should be installed in environment of 
Pollution Degree 2 or better
Overvoltage Category 
To comply with standard CSA C22.2 No. 274-13 requirement, 
the following applies to cUL applications:
●
This drive should be installed in environment of 
Overvoltage Category III
●
For 400V Series: Transient surge suppression shall be 
installed on the line side of this equipment and shall be 
rated 500V (phase to ground), suitable for Overvoltage 
Category III, and shall provide protection for a rated 
impulse withstand voltage peak of 6 kV
●
For 230V Series: Transient surge suppression shall be 
installed on the line side of this equipment and shall be 
rated 240V (phase to ground), suitable for Overvoltage 
Category III, and shall provide protection for a rated 
impulse withstand voltage peak of 4 kV
Motor Overload and Over-Temperature Protection
●
This drive provides solid-state motor overload protection 
that reacts when it reaches 102.5% of FLA
●
This drive can accept and act upon a signal from a 
thermal sensor or switch embedded in the motor or from 
an external protective relay to achieve the motor over 
temperature protection. Therefore, in order to achieve 
the motor over temperature protection, a sensor from 
the motor will be needed
Branch Circuit Short Circuit Protection 
●
Integral solid-state short circuit protection does not 
provide branch circuit protection. Branch circuit protection 
must be provided in accordance with the National 
Electrical Code and any additional local codes
●
400V Drive Series are suitable for use on a circuit capable 
of delivering not more than 100,000 rms symmetrical 
amperes, 500 volts maximum, when protected by UL and 
cUL/CSA Recognized Class T fuse with an A.I.C. rating of 
100 kA minimum. Refer to the following information for 
recommended fuse ratings. See Table 39.
