Product Specific Precautions
High voltages capable of causing severe
injury or death by electrical shock are
present in this unit.
• Do not remove VFD cover for wiring or periodic inspec-
tions while power is applied, or the unit is in operation.
• Capacitors inside the drive can still hold lethal voltage
even after power has been disconnected. ALWAYS check if
DC bus charge LED is off and DC voltage on the terminals
DC (+1) and DC (-) is less than 30VDC before working on
VFD wiring. The DC bus capacitors may hold high-voltage
charge for several minutes after the VFD power is discon-
nected.
• Perform wiring after VFD has been mounted. Otherwise,
electric shock or bodily injury can occur.
• Do not apply power to a damaged VFD or to VFD with
missing parts.
• Do not use VFD if power or motor cable is damaged.
• Do not handle the VFD or control devices with wet hands
or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock,
or property damage.
• Install VFD on a non-flammable surface. Do not place
flammable materials nearby.
• Disconnect the input power if VFD has been damaged.
• Do not touch VFD after shutting down or disconnecting it.
It can remain hot for a few minutes.
• Do not allow lint, paper, wood chips, dust, metallic chips
or other foreign material into the drive.
• Some VFD parameters are set as default to automatically
start VFD in some applications. Disable these parameters
if automatic start is not safe for personnel or equipment.
• If restart after fault reset is selected, the VFD can start
automatically after fault reset.
• If required, provide an emergency mechanical brake to
prevent any hazardous conditions if VFD fails during oper-
ation.
Risk of damage to drive or other equipment.
• Install and wire VFD according to the instructions in this
manual.
• Take protective measures against ESD (Electrostatic Dis-
charge) before touching control boards during inspection,
installation or repair.
• Do not connect power factor correction capacitors, surge
suppressors, or RFI filter to the VFD output.
• Check if input power voltage is within acceptable range
before applying power to VFD.
• Set correct motor data from the motor nameplate and
overload protection parameters for proper motor overload
protection.
• Do not modify VFD internal components and circuits.
• Power factor capacitors and generators may become over-
heated and damaged due to harmonics distortion created
by VFD.
• The use of any disconnecting device (contactor, disconnect
etc.) in motor circuit during VFD run can cause damage to
VFD power components. Stop VFD before opening the
motor circuit with disconnect or contactor.
• Use, if possible, an inverter rated or motor with insulation
Class F or higher. For submersible pump motors, use Class
B or higher. The VFD generates high frequency output
pulses with spikes, which can deteriorate motor winding
insulation and eventually damage the motor. The longer
distance to the motor the higher amplitude of these volt-
age spikes will be applied to motor winding. Any cables
with paralleled wires will increase the amplitude of these
spikes at motor terminals.
• VFD can operate motor at frequencies higher than 50HZ or
60Hz. Verify the maximum allowed speed with motor and
machinery manufacturers prior to increasing output fre-
quency because it can overheat motor or damage machin-
ery.

page 43 for possible control setups.
Risk of damage to VFD, or malfunction can occur.
• An incorrectly applied or installed VFD can result in system malfunction or reduction in product life
as well as component damage. You must read and understand this manual thoroughly before pro-
ceeding with installation.
• Do not install a magnetic contactor or motor disconnect in the motor circuit for start/stop or emer-
gency stop purpose. Opening the motor circuit while the VFD is running may cause VFD failure.

Basic VFD Configuration
The following table includes the most commonly used devices in a motor control branch operated by a VFD.
Adequate peripheral devices and correct connections are essential for proper VFD operation.
AC Power Source Use single- or three-phase power source with voltage within the permissible range of VFD
input power rating.
MCCB, Fuses, or
Franklin Electric
Manual Motor Start-
ers
Select circuit breakers or fuses in accordance with NEC and applicable local codes.
Inline Magnetic
Contactor
Do not use input power contactor for frequent starting and stopping the VFD, otherwise
VFD power components can be damaged.
AC Line Reactor or
Harmonic Filter
A line reactor provides some degree of surge protection and decreases a level of harmonic
distortion in the power line. It is recommended when power source kVA rating is more than
10 times higher than VFD rating.
A Harmonic filter provides a higher level of harmonic mitigation. Integrated DC Chokes are
included in VFD models larger than Frame C, equivalent to a 3% AC line reactor.
EMI/RFI Filter Install an EMI/RFI filter to decrease VFD Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference
with operation of sensitive electronic equipment.
Variable Frequency
Drive
Install VFD with proper orientation, ventilation, spacing etc. according to the requirements
described in this manual with all necessary protective and filtering devices to provide long
and reliable VFD operation.
AC Load Reactor or
Output Filter
(460 V and higher)
Install a load (output) reactor or an output filter to protect motor windings if distance from
VFD to a motor is in the range 45-100 feet. Install output dV/dt filter for a range of 100-
1000 feet (800 feet for submersible pumps), or a sine wave filter for greater distances.
Three Phase AC
Induction Motors or
Permanent Magnet
Motors, including
Franklin Electric
pump motors
The X-Series VFD is not compatible with servomotors.
Opening the motor circuit by disconnect or contactor during VFD run can damage VFD
power components.

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
Environmental Requirements

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
Environmental Requirements
The VFD must be installed and used in a controlled environment that meets the following requirements:
The drive electronics are air-cooled. Provide enough
clearance for airflow around the VFD. See minimum
mounting clearance table below for different VFD
frame sizes.
Mount VFD vertically (top up) for proper heat dissi-
pation.
Do not mount VFD in direct sunlight or near other
heat sources.
Do not block cooling vents or airflow with any panel
components or wires. Prevent debris from adhering
to the heat sink.
* For frames sizes D, E, & F, install a metal separator between side-by-side drives. Barrier depth must match the VFD
depth.
Risk of damage to VFD, or malfunction can occur due to improper handling,
installation, or environment.
• Do not mount VFD on equipment with excessive vibration.
• Install in a location where temperature is within the range of product rating.
• Do not mount VFD in direct sunlight or near other heat sources.
• The VFD should be mounted in a Pollution Degree 2 environment. If VFD will be installed in an envi-
ronment with a high probability of dust, metallic particles, mists, corrosive gas or other contami-
nants, the VFD must be mounted inside an appropriate electrical enclosure with proper NEMA, UL
Type, or IP rating and adequate cooling.
• When two or more VFDs are installed in a ventilated enclosure, the cooling system should provide
adequate airflow for all the VFDs. Do not install VFD above another heat source (another VFD,
inductive reactors, etc.).
Ambient Temperature 50 °C (122 °F) for UL Open Type/IP20 (top cover must be removed)
40 °C (104 °F) for NEMA 1 / UL Type 1 / IP20 enclosure

Mounting the Drive
The mounting location should have nearby access to the electrical supply and access to the motor wiring.
Refer to “Electrical Installation” on page 35.
Use lag screws or bolts appropriate for supporting the weight of the drive.
1. Mount the drive using the mounting holes on the back side of the drive enclosure.
2. Screws at the top must attach to a solid structure such as a stud or brace.
3. All screw hole locations should be used to ensure the drive is securely mounted.
IMPORTANT: Do not drill holes in the drive.
When removing large drives from the pallet, use suitable lifting equipment connected to the lifting holes at
the top outer edges of the drive.
1. Use a spreader bar the same width as the drive so
the lifting cables are straight up and down.
2. Slowly lift the drive from the pallet.
3. Use lifting equipment to place the drive in the
desired installation location.
Risk of bodily injury or damage to drive or other equipment.
• The drive should be mounted on a structure such as a wall or post capable of supporting the weight
of the unit. Refer to “Specifications” on page 235 for drive weight.
• Install VFD on a non-combustible surface.
• Ensure suitable mounting hardware is used when installing the drive.
• Do not install the drive on unreinforced drywall.
• Use suitable lifting equipment, in good condition, rated for at least 5 times the weight of the drive.
