3.6 Main Circuit Wiring
This section describes the functions, specifications, and procedures required to safely and properly wire the main circuit of
the drive.
NOTICE: Do
not solder the ends of wire connections to the drive. Soldered wiring connections can loosen over time. Improper wiring practices
could result in drive malfunction due to loose terminal connections.

Main Circuit Terminal Functions
Table 3.1 Main Circuit Terminal Functions
Terminal Type Function Reference
R/L1
Main circuit power supply
input
Connects line power to the drive.
Drives
with single-phase 200 V input power use terminals R/L1 and S/L2 only (T/
L3 must not be used).
36S/L2
T/L3
U/T1
Drive output Connects to the motor. 41V/T2
W/T3
B1
Braking resistor Available for connecting a braking resistor or the braking resistor unit option. 50
B2
+1
DC link choke connection
These terminals are shorted at shipment. Remove the shorting bar between +1 and
+2 when connecting a DC link choke to this terminal.

Wire Gauges and Tightening Torque
Select the appropriate wires and crimp terminals from Table 3.2 through Table 3.4.
Note: 1. Wire gauge recommendations based on drive continuous current ratings using 75 °C 600 Vac vinyl-sheathed wire assuming ambient
temperature within 30 °C and wiring distance less than 100 m.
2. Terminals +1, +2, –, B1 and B2 are for connecting optional devices such as a braking resistor. Do not connect other non-specified devices
to these terminals.
• Consider the amount of voltage drop when selecting wire gauges. Increase the wire gauge when the voltage drop is greater
than 2% of motor rated voltage. Ensure the wire gauge is suitable for the terminal block. Use the following formula to
calculate the amount of voltage drop:
•
Line drop voltage (V) = 3 x wire resistance (Ω/km) x wire length (m) x current (A) x 10

•
Refer to instruction manual TOBP C720600 00 for braking unit or braking resistor unit wire gauges.
• Refer to UL Standards Compliance on page 241 for information on UL compliance.
