  After power is shut off to the inverter the capacitors will slowly discharge. Do NOT touch and of 
the inverter circuitry or replace any components until the “CHARGE” indicator is off. 
 
  Do NOT wire or connect/disconnect internal connectors of the inverter when the inverter is 
powered up or when powered off and the “CHARGE”” indicator is on. 
 
  Do NOT connect inverter output U, V and W to the supply power. This will result in damage to the 
inverter. 
 
  The inverter must by properly grounded. Use terminal E to connect earth ground and comply with 
local standards. 
 
  Do NOT perform a dielectric voltage withstand test (Megger) on the inverter this will result in inverter 
damage to the semiconductor components. 
 
  Do NOT touch any of the components on the inverter control board to prevent damage to the inverter 
by static electricity. 
 
 
  Refer to the recommended wire size table for the appropriate wire to use. The voltage between 
the power supply and the input of the inverter may not exceed 2%.

  Reduce the carrier frequency (parameter 11-01) If the cable from the inverter to the motor is 
greater than 25m (82ft). A high-frequency current can be generated by stray capacitance 
between the cables and result in an overcurrent trip of the inverter, an increase in leakage 
current, or an inaccurate current readout. 
 
  To protect peripheral equipment, install fast acting fuses on the input side of the inverter. Refer to 
section 11.6 for additional information.
