4.6 Power Wiring Recommendations

 TheVFDprovidesthehigh‐voltageandhigh‐currentconnectionsforinputpowerandoutput

power.Theinputpowerisfused(3phases)andfilteredforEMCcompliance.



 DonotconnectinputpowertoVFDMotorTerminalsU/T1,V/T2,andW/T3otherwiseVFDcan

bedamaged.

 Donotrunin

putpowerandmotorwiresinthesameconduit,otherwisetheVFDcan

malfunctionorbedamaged.(SeeFigure4.3.1)

 DonotruninputpowerwiresormotorleadsformultipleVFDsincommonconduit.(SeeFigure

4.3.1)

 Donotinstallpowerfactorcorrectioncapacitors,surgesuppressors,orRFIfilter

sontheVFD

output.ThesedevicescantriggersomeVFD faultsorevendamagetheVFD.

 Donotleavewirefragments,metalshavingsorothermetalobjectsinsidetheVFD,otherwise

VFDcanbedamaged.

 Sizepowerwiretomaintainavoltagedroplessthan2%atVFDormotorter

minals.

 Installaload(output)reactortoprotectmotorwindingsifdistancefrom460Vor600VVFDtoa

motorisintherange45‐100feetoroutputdV/dtfilterforarange100‐1000feet(800feetfor

submersiblepumps)orasi

newavefilterforgreaterdistances.
