Technical data
Motor connections
WARNING! Never connect line power to the drive output terminals: U2, V2 or W2.
Line voltage applied to the output can result in permanent damage to the unit. If
frequent bypassing is required, use mechanically interlocked switches or contactors.
WARNING! Do not connect any motor with a nominal voltage less than one half of
the drive’s nominal input voltage.
WARNING! Disconnect the drive before conducting any voltage tolerance (Hi-Pot)
test or insulation resistance (Megger) test on the motor or motor cables. Do not
conduct these tests on the drive.

* WARNING! Using a motor cable longer than specified in the
table above may cause permanent damage to the drive. Additional
distance may be achieved with the use of an appropriate output
filter.
* WARNING! The above table refers only to the maximum motor
cable distance that the drive can tolerate. Consult the motor
manufacturer for any limitations on the distance that the motor can
tolerate. The above table is not intended as a motor protection
guide.
