Catalog Number Explanation
This publication applies to the following Kinetix 5500 servo drives. For connecting safe
torque-off signals, hard-wired drives use the safe torque-off (STO) connector and ship with the
protective cover removed. Networked safe torque-off drives do not use the STO connector and
ship with the protective cover in place. Refer to Connector Data on page 9 to locate the cover.

Removing the Grounding Screws in Ungrounded Power Configurations
Removing the grounding screw is necessary only when using ungrounded or corner-grounded
power configurations. Removing the screws involves gaining access, opening the side door, and
removing the screws.
Removing the grounding screws in multi-axis configurations is best done when the drive is
removed from the panel and placed on its side on a solid surface equipped as a grounded
static-safe workstation.
Remove the Grounding Screws
IMPORTANT
If you have grounded wye power distribution, you do not need to remove the screws. Go to
Install the Kinetix 5500 Servo Drive on page 5.
Removing the ground screws can affect EMC performance.
ATTENTION: By removing the grounding screw for ungrounded power configurations, you no
longer maintain line-to-neutral voltage protection.
ATTENTION: This drive contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts and assemblies. You
are required to follow static-control precautions when you install, test, service, or repair this
assembly. If you do not follow ESD control procedures, components can be damaged. If you are not
familiar with static controlprocedures, refer to Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage, publication
8000-4.5.2, or any other applicable ESD awareness handbook.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The drive ground configuration must be accurately
determined. Leave the grounding screws installed for grounded power configurations (default).
Remove the screws for ungrounded power.

Grounding Screw Configurations
Install the Kinetix 5500 Servo Drive
These procedures assume you have prepared your panel and understand how to bond your
system. For installation instructions regarding equipment and accessories not included here, refer
to the instructions that came with those products.
Ground Configuration (1)
(1) Refer to the Kinetix 5500 Servo Drives User Manual, publication 2198-UM001, for example configurations.
Grounding Screw Configuration Benefits of Configuration
Grounded (wye) Both screws installed
(default setting)
•UL and EMC compliance
•Reduced electrical noise
•Most stable operation
•Reduced voltage stress on components and
motor bearings
•B-phase corner ground
•AC fed ungrounded Both screws removed
•Helps avoid severe equipment damage when
ground fault occurs
•Reduced leakage current
SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid hazard of electrical shock, perform all mounting and wiring of the
Kinetix 5500 drive prior to applying power. Once power is applied, connector terminals can have
voltage present even when not in use.
ATTENTION: Plan the installation of your system so that you can perform all cutting, drilling,
tapping, and welding with the system removed from the enclosure. Because the system is of the
open type construction, be careful to keep any metal debris from falling into it. Metal debris or
other foreign matter can become lodged in the circuitry and result in damage to components.

Mount the Kinetix 5500 Drive
Follow these steps to mount the drive in single-axis configurations.
1. Observe these clearance requirements when mounting a single drive to the panel:
•Additional clearance is required for cables and wires connected to the top of the
drive.
•Additional clearance left and right of the drive is required when mounted adjacent to
noise sensitive equipment or clean wire ways.
•The recommended minimum cabinet depth is 300 mm (11.81 in.).
In multi-axis shared-bus configurations, drives must be spaced by aligning the zero-stack
tab and cutout. For mounting, sizing, and configuring shared-bus configurations, refer to
the Kinetix 5500 Servo Drives User Manual, publication 2198-UM001.
2. Mount the Kinetix 5500 drive to the cabinet subpanel with M4 (#8-32) steel machine
screws torqued to 2.0 N•m (17.7 lb•in), max.
IMPORTANT
Mount the drive in an upright position as shown. Do not mount the drive on its side.
Clearance right of the
drive is not required.
Clearance left of the
drive is not required.

Ground Your Kinetix 5500 Drive to the Subpanel
Ground Kinetix 5500 drives and 2198-CAPMOD-1300 capacitor modules to a bonded cabinet
ground bus with a braided ground strap or 4.0 mm2 (12 AWG) copper wire.
Connecting the Braided Ground Strap
ATTENTION: To avoid personal injury and/or equipment damage, observe the following:
•Make sure installation complies with specifications regarding wire types, conductor sizes,
branch circuit protection, and disconnect devices. The National Electrical Code (NEC) and local
codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical equipment.
•Use motor power connectors only for connection purposes. Do not use them to turn the unit on
and off.
•Ground shielded power cables to prevent potentially high voltages on the shield.

Attach the Motor Cable Shield Clamp
A shield clamp and two screws are supplied with each Kinetix 5500 drive. Use the clamp to bond
the motor cable shield-braid to chassis ground.
•Routing the conductors with service loops provides stress relief.
•Make sure the cable clamp tightens around the cable shield and provides a good bond
between the cable shield and the drive chassis.
Kinetix VP Servo Motors
Kinetix VP motors have single cable technology and use the 2198-KITCON-DSL connector kit

for wiring motor feedback. A clamp spacer is included with the kit for motor power/brake cable
diameters that are too small for a tight fit within the drive clamp alone.
Cable Clamp Attachment
Refer to the Kinetix 5500 Servo Drives User Manual, publication 2198-UM001, for detailed
information on wiring the 2198-H2DCK feedback converter kit and attaching the motor
power/brake shield clamp.
IMPORTANT
If the power/brake cable shield has a loose fit inside the shield clamp, insert the clamp spacer
between the shield clamp and the drive to reduce the clamp diameter. When the clamp screws
are tight, 2.0 N•m (17.7 lb•in), the result must be a high-frequency bond between the cable
shield and the drive chassis.
Clamp Compressed
Around Shield
(no spacer required)
Insert the clamp spacer when the
cable diameter is smaller than the
drive clamp alone.

Motor Overload Protection
This servo drive uses solid-state motor overload protection that operates in accordance with
UL 508C. Motor overload protection is provided by algorithms (thermal memory) that predict
actual motor temperature based on operating conditions as long as control power is continuously
applied. However, when control power is removed, thermal memory is not retained.
In addition to thermal memory protection, this drive provides an input for an external
temperature sensor/thermistor device, embedded in the motor, to support the UL requirement
for motor overload protection.
Servo drives using DSL (digital servo link) encoder technology require the encoder to perform
motor temperature monitoring and transmit the data over the single motor cable. Kinetix VP
motors use DSL technology that performs this function. No additional wiring is required.
Some motors supported by this drive do not contain temperature sensors/thermistors; therefore,
motor overload protection against excessive consecutive motor overloads with power cycling is
not supported.
This servo drive meets the following UL 508C requirements for solid-state overload protection.
Refer to your servo drive user manual for the interconnect diagram that illustrates the wiring
between your motor and drive.
Motor Overload Protection Trip Point Value
Ultimately 100% overload
Within 8 minutes 200% overload
Within 20 seconds 600% overload
ATTENTION: To avoid damage to your motor due to overheating caused by excessive,
successive motor overload trips, follow the wiring diagram provided in the user manual for
your motor and drive combination.
