Mounting the Drive, Grounding, and
Finding Wire Routing Locations
This chapter shows how to mount the drive and properly ground it. Also shown are the
entry areas where wiring is to be routed in and out of the drive.
4.1 Mounting the Drive
Attach the drive (1-150 HP) to the vertical surface selected using the four (4) mounting
holes provided. In order to maintain a flat mounting surface and to ensure that bolt
tightness is maintained, use washers under the bolt heads. Refer to figure 3.1 and
table 3.2 for drive mounting dimensions. Use the following user-supplied mounting
bolts and washers:
• 1-5HP drives: M6 (1/4")
• 7.5-10HP drives: M8 (5/16")
• 15-60HP drives: M8 or M10 (5/16" or 3/8")
• 60-150HP drives: M8 (5/16")
• 200-400 HP drives are to be floor-mounted. Use the cabinet mounting brackets
supplied with the drive.
4.1.1 Verifying the Drive’s Watts Loss Rating
When mounting the drive inside of another enclosure, you should determine the watts
loss rating of the drive from table 2.1. This table lists the typical full load power loss
watts value under all operating carrier frequencies. Ensure that the enclosure is
adequately ventilated with 0 ° to 40 ° C ambient air based on the drive’s watts loss
rating.
4.2 Determining Input, Motor Output, Ground, and
Control Wire Routing for the Drive
All wiring should be installed in conformance with the applicable local, national, and
international codes (e.g., NEC/CEC). Signal wiring, control wiring, and power wiring
must be routed in separate conduits to prevent interference with drive operation. Note
that no wires are to be routed behind the drive. Use grommets, when hubs are not
provided, to guard against wire chafing. Figures 4.1 through 4.7 show the wire routing,
grounding terminal, and power terminal strips of the GV3000/SE drives.
!
ATTENTION: Do not route signal and control wiring with power wiring in
the same conduit. This can cause interference with drive operation.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to, or
destruction of, the equipment.
