Cabling
Before connecting any cables, use a multimeter to check that the cables to be
connected are not live.

Earthing
PE conductors are connected to the PE busbar. The PE busbars in each section are connected (see
Figure 16 on page 32) and the PE busbars must be connected to earth.
See the earthing and earth fault protection instructions in Chapter 3.1.3.
3.6.2
Mains and motor connection
The power supply terminals can be reached through the bottom part of the cabinet. The mains
cables are connected to terminals L1, L2 and L3 on the main input section (see Figure 17 on
page 34). The motor cables are connected to inverter section terminals marked with U, V and W.
Make openings for the cables in the grommets on the bottom of the cabinet and lead through the
cables. Use cable clamps to fix the cables.
Use cables with a temperature rating of at least +70°C. As a rule of thumb, cables and fuses can be
dimensioned according to the frequency converter nominal output current, which you can find on
the rating plate. Dimensioning according to the output current is recommended because the
frequency converter input current never significantly exceeds the output current.
