3.2 Power Terminals
Wiring
The Controller has five Power Terminals, which are clearly marked on Controller’s body as B+, B-,
U, V, W (figure 4).

The recommended screw torque for fixing the Power Terminals is 6.4 Nm. This value is reported
on the label placed on the cover, exceeding the recommended value may cause damages.
Sizing
The environment conditions strongly affect the current carrying capacity of a single wire.
Temperature and wire length can decrease the cable performance and other factors such as
Controller duty cycles and airflow should also be taken into consideration when sizing the power
cables.
The following formula gives an advice on the cable size needed in welding cable, not grouped with
other cables:
Ambient Temperature = 25°C
Maximum Temperature rise on the cable surface = 60°C
