Failure to runoutput motor cables separately or use screened cablescould result in death or serious injury.• run output motor cables separately, or• use screened cablesMotor ConnectionNOTICETo comply with EMC emission specifications, screened/armoured cables are required.

Theyspoil the screening effect at higher frequencies. If it isnecessary to break the screen to install a motor isolator ormotor contactor, the screen must be continued at thelowest possible HF impedance.NOTICEStrip a piece of the motor cable to expose the screenbehind the cable clamp, AND connect the groundconnection to terminal 99.Connect the motor cable screen to both the decouplingplate of the frequency converter and to the metal housingof the motor.Make the screen connections with the largest possiblesurface area (cable clamp). This is done by using thesupplied installation devices in the frequency converter.If it is necessary to split the screen to install a motorisolator or motor relay, the screen must be continued withthe lowest possible HF impedance.Cable-length and cross-sectionThe frequency converter has been tested with a givenlength of cable and a given cross-section of that cable. Ifthe cross-section is increased, the cable capacitance - andthus the leakage current - may increase, and the cablelength must be reduced correspondingly. Keep the motorcable as short as possible to reduce the noise level andleakage currents.Switching frequencyWhen frequency converters are used with Sine-wave filtersto reduce the acoustic noise from a motor, the switchingfrequency must be set according to the Sine-wave filterinstruction in 14-01 Switching Frequency.1. Fasten decoupling plate to the bottom of thefrequency converter with screws and washersfrom the accessory bag.2. Attach motor cable to terminals 96 (U), 97 (V), 98(W).3. Connect to ground connection (terminal 99) ondecoupling plate with screws from the accessorybag.4. Insert plug connectors 96 (U), 97 (V), 98 (W) (upto 7.5 kW) and motor cable to terminals labelledMOTOR.5.
