PA7300 Instruction Manual - TECO-Westinghouse Motor Company

(B) GROUNDING (PE: Protective Earth)Ground the 7300PA through ground terminal E (PE).(1) Ground resistance should be 100 ohms or less.(2) Never ground 7300PA in common with welding machines, motors, and otherlarge-current electrical equipment, or ground pole. Run the ground lead in separateconduit from leads for large-current electrical equipment.(3) Use the ground leads which comply with AWG standards and make the sure the lengthis as short as possible.(4) Where several 7300PA units are used side by side, it is preferable to ground each unitseparately to ground poles. However, connecting all the ground terminals of 7300PAin parallel while grounding only one of the 7300PA’s to the ground pole is alsopermissible (Fig. 3). Be sure not to form a loop with the ground leads.CORRECT CORRECT NOT ACCEPTABLEPE PE PE PE PE PE PE PE PE(a) (b) (c)Fig. 3 Grounding of Three 7300PA Units(C) CONTROL CIRCUIT(1) Separation of control circuit leads and main circuit leads: All signal leads must beseparated from main circuit leads L1 (R), L2 (S), L3 (T), +, - , B2, T1 (U), T2 (V),T3 (W) and other power cables to prevent erroneous operation caused by noiseinterference.(2) Control circuit leads R1A-R1B-R1C, R2A-R2C, R3A-R3C (contact output) must beseparated from leads 1 to 8, A01, A02, D01-DCOM and 24V, SC, 24VG,VIN, AIN,AUX, MT, GND.(3) Use twisted shielded or twisted pair shielded wire for the control circuit line andconnect the shield sheath to the inverter terminal E to prevent malfunction caused bynoise. See Fig.4. Wiring distance should be less than 164ft (50m).SHIELDSHEATHARMORTO INVERTER SHIELDSHEATH TERMINAL ENEVER CONNECTINSULATE THESE PARTSWITH INSULATING TAPE.Fig. 4 Shielded Wire Termination17
