* In variable torque applications, Function Code 86 (Motor Hp Capacity) needs to be changed to Set Drive Hp vs. Load Hp.
40 Hp and above is 460-480 VAC input, VT applications only.
1 Device ratings such as system coordination, short-circuit rating and type must be carefully reviewed by the user.
2 Based on GE Fuji DB resistor designs. Other ratings require careful review.
3 Device ratings such as system coordination, short-circuit rating and type must be carefully reviewed by the user.
Note: Wire size from NEC table 310-16. Copper wire rated 60 Deg. C for 100 amps or less, 75 Deg. C for over 100 amps in 30 Deg. C
ambient and 1.25 times Drive rated amps. These are minimum wire sizes; consult and conform to local and national codes.
CAUTION: The grounding connector shall be sized in accordance with the NEC or Canadian Electrical Code. The connection shall be made
by a UL listed or CSA certified closed-loop terminal connector sized for the wire gauge involved. The connector is to be fixed using the
crimp tool specified by the connector manufacturer.
Recommend GE Spectra RMS MAG-BREAK Circuit Breakers.
CAUTION: Quick-acting bussman JKS or equivalent J-class AC line fuses are required on 30 Hp or lower Drives. Check local electrical codes
for 40 Hp and higher.
