NOTICE: The specified wire size may appear too small for the fuse or circuit breaker
shown. However, it is consistent with both the load imposed and with the USA National
Electric Code.
Ground
BNUUUF01.R03 0000109239 C.4 D.2 A.4 1/2/20, 2:14 PM Released
The ground wire and connections must ensure a reliable earth ground (zero potential). Use wiring
of at least as large a gauge as that required for incoming power. Do not rely on conduit, machine
anchorage, etc. Use the ground lug provided in the incoming power junction box on the machine.
Disconnect Switch for Lockout/Tagout
BNUUUF01.R04 0000109238 C.4 D.2 A.5 1/2/20, 2:14 PM Released
The disconnect switch must permit personnel to disconnect and lockout/tagout electric power
from the machine. In the USA, refer to OSHA standard 1910.147 “The control of hazardous en-
ergy (lockout/tagout)”. Refer to the USA National Electric Code for requirements on locating the
switch. In other locales, abide by these standards if no other local codes apply.
Using GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) Device
BNUUUF01.R05 0000571262 C.4 D.2 A.2 4/26/23, 10:44 AM Released
The AC Drive will most likely cause the GFCI protection device to trip. The reason the AC Drive
will cause this tripping of the GFCI is the Common Mode Current or Common Mode Noise (CM
Noise) that the VFD is producing.
Use a GFCI with a higher trip level.
NOTE: Choose a GFCI designed specifically for an AC drive. The operation time
should be at least 0.1 s with sensitivity amperage of at least 200 mA per drive. The output
waveform of the drive may cause an increase in leakage current. This may in turn cause
the leakage breaker to malfunction. Increase the sensitivity amperage or lower the carrier
frequency to correct the problem.
Use a type B GFCI according to IEC/EN 60755.

All laundering machines impart static and dynamic forces to the supporting structures (foundation
and soil, floor, and building). Static forces include the machine weight plus the weight of the
goods and water. Dynamic forces are those imparted by various machine movements as explained
in Section : Major Design Considerations, page 16. The dynamic forces imparted to supporting
structures can cause vibration and noise outside of the laundry room if supporting structures are
inadequate.
