The EMC-compliant filter and the inverter should be connected with each other according to the procedure
given below. The wiring on the inverter and motor should be performed by an authorized electrical engineer. In
order to ensure compliance with the EMC Directive, this procedure should be followed as closely as possible.
Basic connection procedure
1) Install the inverter and the EMC-compliant filter on a grounded metal plate. Use a shielded cable also for
connection to the motor and make it as short as possible. Connect the shield layer of the cable firmly to the
metal plate. Also, at the motor side, connect the shield layer electrically to the grounding terminal of the
motor.
2) Use a shielded cable for connection of control circuit lines of the inverter and also for connection of the
signal cable of an RS-485 communications card. As with the motor, clamp the shield layer of the cable
firmly to a grounded plate.
3) If noise radiated from the inverter exceeds the level prescribed in the EMC Directive, enclose the inverter
and its peripherals (EMC-compliant filter) inside a metal enclosure as shown in Figure 10.3.

Note 1: Wiring change for compliance
Changing the internal wiring makes EMC-compliant level (emission) be in conformity with Group 1 Class A. Refer to the
wiring procedures given on the following pages.
Before changing any internal wiring, turn OFF the power and wait more than five minutes for models of
30HP for 208V, 40HP for 460V or below, or ten minutes for models of 40HP for 208V, 50HP for 460V or
above. Make sure that the LED monitor and charging lamp (on models of 40HP for 208V, 50HP for 460V or
above) are turned OFF. Further, make sure, using a multimeter or a similar instrument, that the DC link bus
voltage between the terminals P (+) and N (-) has dropped below the safe voltage (+25 VDC).
Otherwise electric shock could occur.
