3.7 Connecting to Field Wiring Terminals
To open the door, unscrew the fastener on the bottom right corner. The door will slide down
onto the hinge and then rotate open to gain access to the wiring panel. For 2-wire motor
and 3-wire motor connections, see Table 5 below.

3.8 Routing Power Cables
Note: Continuous metal conduit should be used for all power cables to reduce radiated
electromagnetic interference (EMI). The conduit must be securely connected to the drive
enclosure drive and the motor case for proper grounding. Consult local electrical code for
proper grounding methods.
Route power cables through the supplied openings in the bottom of the enclosure. Use
appropriate conduit or strain relief devices. Conduit hubs should be IMC or rigid steel
conduit and should be UL listed. Conduit hub locations are shown in Figure 5.
Important Note: Remove all metal shavings after cutting new openings.
