Wiring warnings for electrical practices and wire sizes
The Cautions, Warnings, and Instructions in this section summarize 
the procedures necessary to ensure an inverter installation complies 
with Underwriters Laboratories® guidelines.
 Warning!
  Use 60/75°C Cu wire only or equivalent.
 Warning!
  Open type equipment.
  Warning!
  Suitable for use on a circuit capable of  
  delivering not more than 5,000 rms  
 symmetrical amperes:
  • 240 V maximum for DM1-32 models
  • 500 V maximum for DM1-34 models
  • 600 V maximum for DM1-35 models
Circuit breaker and fuse sizes
The adjustable frequency drive’s connections to input power must 
include UL listed inverse time circuit breakers with 600 V rating, or 
UL listed fuses.

Wire connectors
  Warning!
Field wiring connections must be made by a UL 
listed and CSA certified ring lug terminal connec-
tor sized for the wire gauge being used.  The 
connector must be fixed using the crimping tool 
specified by the connector manufacturer.
Motor overload protection
DM1 adjustable frequency drives provide solid-state motor overload 
protection, which depends on the proper setting of the following 
parameter: P5.1.2 “current limit.“
“The setting range is (0.2 * rated current) to (2 * rated current).
  Warning!
When two or more motors are connected 
to the inverter, they cannot be protected by 
the electronic overload protection.  Install an 
external thermal relay on each motor.
