PowerFlex 700L Technical Data
Publication 20L-TD001A 21
Best performance is achieved with three spaced ground conductors, but acceptable performance below 200 HP is provided
via a single ground conductor.
Cable Trays and Conduit
If cable trays or large conduits are to be used, refer to guidelines presented in the Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for
Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives, publication DRIVES-IN001.
Power Ratings and Branch Circuit Protection
Frame 2 Drive
Most codes require that upstream branch circuit protection be provided to protect input power wiring.
The Frame 2 drive does not provide input power short circuit protection. The tables below provide drive ratings and
recommended AC line input fuse and circuit breaker information. Both types of short circuit protection are acceptable for
UL and IEC requirements. Sizes listed are the recommended sizes based on 40°C and the U.S. N.E.C.
Other country, state
or local codes may require different ratings.
Fusing
If fuses are chosen as the desired protection method, refer to the recommended types listed below. If available amp
ratings do not match the tables provided, the closest
fuse rating that exceeds the drive rating should be chosen.
• IEC – BS88 (British Standard) Parts 1 & 2
(1)
, EN60269-1, Parts 1 & 2, type gG or equivalent should be used.
• UL – UL Class T, J or L must be used.
