NOTE: The AC power connections are made later (see Facilities Connections on page 214).
See Electrical Wiring on page 73 to make sure that all power wiring is properly
sized.
See Table 4-12 on page 142 when connecting the power cables to the motors to
make sure that each chain of motors does not exceed the rated output of the power
supply.
1. Connect the HVDC power cable to the terminals on the power supply (cable must be
shielded).
• Make sure that the power supply is properly grounded.
• Make sure that the power cables are sized for the full load of all motors down-
stream from the connection.
2. Run the HVDC power cable from the power supply to the junction box at the motor
controller for the first motor in the path. Route the cable so it is shielded from damage
and can be easily accessed for service.
• Make sure that the junction box is properly grounded.
3. Run an HVDC power cable from the junction box to the HVDC connector on the
motor controller (see Table 4-20, QSMC Motor Controller HVDC Power Connector
Pinout, on page 146), finger tighten only. Route the cable so it is shielded from dam-
age and can be easily accessed for service.
• Connect GND (PE) to GND (PE) in the junction box.
4. Run an HVDC power cable from the junction box to the junction box at the motor con-
troller for the next motor in the path. Route the cable so it is shielded from damage and
can be easily accessed for service.
• Make sure that the junction box is properly grounded.
5. Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for each motor controller in the power chain.
NOTE: It is not necessary to connect all motors on a path to the same power supply
or to connect a power supply to only one path.
6. Bundle and dress all HVDC cables (use nylon cable-ties) as required to keep all cable
routing clean.
7. Connect the LVDC power cable to the terminals on the power supply.
8. Run the LVDC power cable from the power supply to the LVDC connector on the first
motor controller in the path, finger tighten only. Route the cable so it is shielded from
damage and can be easily accessed for service.
NOTE: If using individual +24V DC power sources, connect each one directly to the
LVDC connector on each motor controller.
