Checking the cable and motor insulation
1. Check the motor cable insulation as follows:
•
Disconnect the motor cable from terminals U, V and
W of the PowerXL Series drive and from the motor
•
Measure the insulation resistance of the motor
cable between each phase conductor as well as
between each phase conductor and the protective
groundconductor
•
The insulation resistance must be >1M ohm
2. Check the input power cable insulation as follows:
•
Disconnect the input power cable from terminals
L1/N, L2/N and L3 of the PowerXL Series drive and
from the utility line feeder
•
Measure the insulation resistance of the input power
cable between each phase conductor as well as
between each phase conductor and the protective
ground conductor
•
The insulation resistance must be >1M ohm
3. Check the motor insulation as follows:
•
Disconnect the motor cable from the motor and open
any bridging connections in the motor connection box
•
Measure the insulation resistance of each motor
winding. The measurement voltage must equal at
least the motor nominal voltage but not exceed
1000V
•
The insulation resistance must be >1M ohm
