4.1.1 Ground connections
The drive must be connected to the system ground of the supply. The ground wiring must conform to local regulations and codes of practice.
For further information on ground cable sizes, refer to Table 4-1 below.
Table 4-1 Protective ground cable ratings
The supply and motor ground connections are made using the M4 threaded holes in the metal side plate of the drive. Connections are located at the
top and bottom of the drive. See Figure 4-2 for details.
