NOTICE
Material damage due to loose power connections
Insufficient tightening torques or vibration can result in faulty electrical connections. This
can result in damage due to fire or malfunctions.
• Tighten all power connections with the specified tightening torques, e.g. line supply
connection, motor connection, DC link connections.
• Regularly check all power connections by retightening them with the specified tightening
torque. This applies in particular after transport.
Note
PE connection of the motor
The PE connection on the motor must be guided back directly to the cabinet unit and
connected there.
Direction of motor rotation
EN 60034-7 defines the two ends of an electric motor as follows:
● DE (Drive End): usually the drive end of the motor
● NDE (Non-Drive End): usually the non-drive end of the motor
An electric motor will rotate clockwise if the shaft is turning clockwise when looking at the DE
side.
For electric motors with 2 shaft ends, the direction of rotation must be determined based on
the shaft end specified as the drive end.
For clockwise rotation, the electric motor must be connected according to the following table.

In contrast to the connection for the clockwise phase sequence, two phases have to be
reversed with a counter-clockwise phase sequence (looking at the drive shaft).
