Wiring
To allow for ease of wiring, the enclosure
wiring area is free of electronics other than
the terminals. Conduit holes and knockouts
are located so that the wire can be fed straight
through to the connectors, with minimal bending.
The terminals accept 1.5mm²-16mm² wire.
For wire sizing refer to table 3, page 6.
NOTICE For convenience in wiring, the input and
motor terminals unplug from the box. Pull them
down to remove them for ease of access, as
shown in Figure 8.
Verify that the terminal connectors are completely
seated when you replace them. It is best practice
to connect all output wires (larger wire gauge)
first, then all input wires.
Pump Connections
If the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE is used with above
ground motors not rated for Variable Frequency
Drive use, maximize motor life by limiting lead
length to 8.0m.
The output of the Drive is single phase (2-wire or
3-wire) or 3-phase, depending on motor selection
during startup.
The output power terminals (motor wire
connections) are located on the lower right side of
the Drive and are labeled R (Red), Y (Yellow), and
B (Black). See Tables 3.
Feed the motor cable through the 20mm conduit
hole on the bottom right side and into the
appropriate terminals. If the wire is large enough
to require a larger conduit hole, remove the
3.2cm knockout and use the appropriate conduit
connections. Attach the motor ground wire to the
grounding screw, located to the upper right of the
terminal block. Attach the motor power wires to
the terminals as shown in Figure 9.
NOTICE Drive does not sense motor temperature
and will not protect motor from over heating.
