F – Connect the power cables
Use symmetrical shielded cable for motor cabling. If the cable shield is the sole PE
conductor, make sure that is has sufficient conductivity for the PE.
Note for frame R3: Make sure that you have an additional PE conductor in the input
power cabling. See the hardware manual for more information.
Procedure:
1. Frames R6 and R8: Remove the shroud on the power cable terminals. See figure
F (R6, R8)… on page 20. Frame R8: For easier installation, remove the side
plates.
2. Remove the rubber grommets from the bottom plate for the cables to be
connected. See figure …F… on page 20.
3. Cut an adequate hole into the rubber grommets. Slide the grommets onto the
cables. Attach the unused grommets to holes cone pointing downwards.
4. Prepare the ends of the cables. See figure …F… on page 20.
The bare shield will be grounded 360 degrees. Mark the pigtail made from the
shield as a PE conductor with yellow-and-green color.
Two alternative symmetrical three-conductor cable types are shown, and one
four-conductor cable type. The four-conductor cable is only allowed for the input
power cabling.
If you use aluminum cables, put grease to the peeled aluminum cable before
connecting it to the drive.
5. Put the cables through the holes of the cable entry plate and attach the grommets
to the holes.
6. Connect the cables (use the torques defined in the figure). See figures …F… on
page 20 and 21:
• Ground the shield 360 degrees by tightening the clamp of the power cable
grounding shelf onto the stripped part of the cable.
• Connect the twisted shield of the cable to the grounding terminal.
• Use a separate grounding PE cable (6a) or a cable with a separate PE
conductor (6b) if the conductivity of the shield does not meet the requirements
for the PE conductor. If the protective PE conductor is smaller than 10 mm2,
you must use a second earthing conductor. See the hardware manual for
more information.
•Frame R3:
Connect the additional PE conductor of the input power cabling.
• Connect the phase conductors of the motor cable to the T1/U, T2/V and T3/W

UL checklist
WARNING! Operation of this drive requires detailed installation and operation
instructions provided in the hardware and software manuals. The manuals are
provided in electric format in the drive package or on the Internet. Retain the manuals
with the drive at all times. Hard copies of the manuals can be ordered through the
manufacturer.
• Make sure that the drive type designation label includes the cULus Listed
marking.
•CAUTION - Risk of electric shock. After disconnecting the input power, always
wait for 5 minutes to let the intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you
start working on the drive, motor or motor cable.
• The drive is to be used in a heated, indoor controlled environment. The drive must
be installed in clean air according to enclosure classification. Cooling air must be
clean, free from corrosive materials and electrically conductive dust. UL Type 12
(IP55) enclosure provides protection from airborne dust and light sprays or
splashing water from all directions. See the hardware manual.
• The maximum surrounding air temperature is 50 °C (122 °F) at rated current. The
current is derated for 40 to 50 °C (104 to 122 °F).
• The drive is suitable for use in a circuit capable of delivering not more than
100,000 rms symmetrical amperes, 480 V maximum when protected by the UL
fuses on page 12. The ampere rating is based on tests done according to the
appropriate UL standard.
• The cables located within the motor circuit must be rated for at least 75 °C
(167 °F) in UL-compliant installations. For UL Type 12 drives of frame R6, the
power cables must be rated for 90 °C (194 °F) minimum. For ambient
temperatures above +40 °C (+104 °F), the power cables must be rated for 90 °C
(194 °F) minimum.
• Integral solid state short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit
protection. The input cable must be protected with fuses. Suitable UL (class T)
fuses are listed on page 12. These fuses provide branch circuit protection in
accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Canadian Electrical
Code. For installation in the United States, obey any other applicable local codes.
For installation in Canada, obey any applicable provincial codes.
•Note: Circuit breakers must not be used without fuses in the USA. Consult ABB
for suitable circuit breakers.
WARNING! The opening of the branch-circuit protective device may be an
indication that a fault current has been interrupted. To reduce the risk of fire
