3.1.4 Verifying Power Module AC Input Ratings Match Supplied Power

It is important to verify that plant power will meet the input power requirements of
the GV3000/SE drive's Power Module circuitry. Refer to table 2.1 for input power
rating specifications. Be sure input power to the drive corresponds to the drive
nameplate voltage and frequency.

3.2 Wiring Requirements for the Drive

Certain drive requirements should be checked before continuing with the drive
installation. Wire sizes, branch circuit protection, speed feedback (for FVC
regulation), and E-stop wiring (see chapter 7), are all areas that need to be
evaluated.

3.2.1 Meeting Terminal Strip Input and Output Specifications

The terminal strip on the Regulator board provides terminals for 24 VDC power for
the eight remote control inputs. Refer to tables A.3 and A.4 for control input and
output specifications.

3.2.2 Determining Wire Size Requirements

Wire size should be determined based on the size of conduit openings, applicable
local, national, and international codes (e.g., NEC/CEC regulations).

ATTENTION: The user is responsible for conforming with all
applicable local, national, and international codes. Failure to observe
this precaution could result in damage to, or destruction of, the
equipment.

3.2.2.1 Conduit Entry Opening Sizes

It is important to accurately determine the size of the conduit openings so that the
wire planned for a specific entry point will fit through the opening. Conduit opening
sizes are shown in figures 4.1 through 4.3.

3.2.2.2 Recommended Power Wire Sizes

Input power wiring should be sized according to applicable codes to handle the
drive's continuous-rated input current. Output wiring should be sized according to
applicable codes to handle the drive's continuous-rated output current. See tables
3.3 to 3.5 for recommended power wire sizes.

Important: Use only copper (Cu) wire with a temperature rating of 60/75

°

C.
