Wire Gauges and Tightening Torques
Wire gauge and torque specifications are listed in Table 8.4. For simpler and more reliable wiring, use crimp ferrules on
the wire ends. Refer to the option manuals
for the wire size and torque specifications of other options.
Table 8.4 Wire Gauges and Tightening Torques
Crimp Terminals
YASKAWA recommends using CRIMPFOX 6 by Phoenix Contact or equivalent crimp terminals with the specifications
listed in Table 8.5 for wiring to ensure proper connections.
Note: Properly trim wire ends so loose wire ends do not extend from the crimp terminals.
Table 8.5 Crimp Terminal Sizes
PG Encoder Cables for PG-B3 Option
YASKAWA recommends using a LMA-B-S185Y (complementary output) for cables running between the PG-B3
Option and the PG as show in Figure 8.11.
For instructions on wiring the terminal block, refer to Table 8.3.
