INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS–continued
GroundingandGroundFault
Protection
The filtermustalwaysbe grounded witha
grounding conductorconnected toallground
terminals.
Due tohigh leakage currentsassociated with
variablefrequency drives, ground fault
protectivedevicesdo not necessarilyoperate
correctlywhen placed ahead of amatrixfilter
feeding adrive. When using thistype of
device,itsfunction shouldbe tested inthe
actualinstallation.
