1-6 Installation/Wiring
PowerFlex 40 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive FRN 1.xx - 7.xx User Manual
Publication 22B-UM001I-EN-E
Input Power Conditioning
The drive is suitable for direct connection to input power within the rated
voltage of the drive (see Appendix
A). Listed in Table 1.B are certain
input power conditions which may cause component damage or
reduction in product life. If any of the conditions exist, as described in
Table 1.B
, install one of the devices listed under the heading Corrective
Action on the line side of the drive.
Important: Only one device per branch circuit is required. It should be
mounted closest to the branch and sized to handle the total
current of the branch circuit.

necessary.
Ungrounded distribution system
240V open delta configuration (stinger leg)

(1)
For drives applied on an open delta with a middle phase grounded neutral system, the
phase opposite the phase that is tapped in the middle to the neutral or earth is
referred to as the “stinger leg,” “high leg,” “red leg,” etc. This leg should be identified
throughout the system with red or orange tape on the wire at each connection point.
The stinger leg should be connected to the center Phase B on the reactor. Refer to
Table B.D for specific line reactor part numbers.
