u Main Circuit Wire Gauges and Tightening TorquesUse the tables in this section to select the appropriate wires and crimp terminals.Gauges listed in the tables are for use in the United States.Note: 1. Wire gauge recommendations based on drive continuous current ratings (ND) using 75 °C 600 Vac vinyl-sheathed wire assuming ambienttemperature within 40 °C and wiring distance less than 100 m.2. Terminals ⊕1, ⊕2, ⊕3, ⊖, B1 and B2 are for connecting optional power devices. Use caution to connect only approved devices to thecorrect terminal(s).• Consider the amount of voltage drop when selecting wire gauges. Increase the wire gauge when the voltage drop is greaterthan 2% of motor rated voltage. Ensure the wire gauge is suitable for the terminal block. Use the following formula tocalculate the amount of voltage drop:Line drop voltage (V) = 3 × wire resistance (Ω/km) × wire length (m) × current (A) × 10-3• Refer to instruction manual TOBPC72060000 or TOBPC72060001 for braking transistor option or braking resistor optionwire gauges.• Use terminals ⊕1 and ⊖ when connecting a regenerative converter or a regen unit.NOTICE: Do not connect a braking resistor to terminals⊕1 or⊖. Failure to comply may cause damage to the drive circuitry.• Use terminals B1 and ⊖ when installing a CDBR-type braking unit on drives with built-in braking transistors (models2A0004 to 2A0138, 4A0002 to 4A0072, and 5A0003 to 5A0052).NOTICE: Do not connect a braking resistor to terminals⊕1 or⊖. Failure to comply may cause damage to the drive circuitry.• Refer to UL Standards Compliance on page 550 for information on UL compliance.Yaskawa recommends using closed-loop crimp terminals on all drive models. UL/cUL approval requires the use of closed-loop crimp terminals when wiring the drive main circuit terminals on models 2A0110 to 2A0415 and 4A0058 to 4A1200. Useonly the tools recommended by the terminal manufacturer for crimping. Refer to Closed-Loop Crimp Terminal Size on page558 for closed-loop crimp terminal recommendations.The wire gauges listed in the following tables are Yaskawa recommendations. Refer to local codes for proper wire gaugeselections.n Three-Phase 200 V ClassTable 3.3 Wire Gauge and Torque Specifications (Three-Phase 200 V Class)Drive Model Terminal Recomm.
