Grounding the Drive
The customer must supply a grounding conductor between the ground lug
of the drive and the ground lug in the cabinet. For PE ground terminal
location, see
Figure 2.15
. Tighten the ground connection to the
recommended torque shown in
.
Ungrounded or Resistive
Grounded Installations
PowerFlex 700L Frame 2 drives are equipped with a common mode input
filter capacitor and MOV that are referenced to ground. If the drive is
installed on a resistive ground or ungrounded distribution system,
disconnect this capacitor and MOV to prevent drive damage.
Disconnecting the Common Mode Capacitor
To disconnect the 1 µF common mode capacitor from the circuit, see
and perform the following steps.
1. Disconnect the Faston wire from the 1 µF common mode capacitor.
2. Insulate the wire end by applying a wire nut or electrical tape.
3. Tie wrap the disconnected wire to keep it away from any electrical
connections.
Disconnecting the MOV from Ground
To disconnect the MOV from ground, see
following steps.
1. Unbolt the ground wire lug from the MOV’s ground connection point.
2. Screw the bolt back into the panel.
3. Cut the lug off the disconnected ground wire and apply a wire nut to its
end.
4. Tie wrap the disconnected ground wire to keep it away from any
electrical connections.
For more information on ungrounded distribution systems, see Wiring and
Grounding Guidelines for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives,
publication DRIVES-IN001. Note: Removing the Common Mode capacitor
and input MOVs makes the drive more vulnerable to high voltage line
spikes.
