Precautions for use
7
3 Precautions for use
This section covers limitations and requirements the user should consider when using the product.
Always use the accessory cable to connect the motor and driver.
When conducting the insulation resistance measurement and the dielectric strength test, be sure to
separate the connection between the motor and the driver.
Conducting the insulation resistance measurement or dielectric strength test with the motor and driver connected
may result in damage to the equipment.
Preventing leakage current
Stray capacitance exists between the driver’s current-carrying line and other current-carrying lines, the earth and the
motor, respectively. A high-frequency current may leak out through such capacitance, having a detrimental eect on
the surrounding equipment. The actual leakage current depends on the driver’s switching frequency, the length of
wiring between the driver and motor, and so on.When connecting an earth leakage breaker, use one of the following
products oering resistance against high frequency current:
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation: NV series
Saving data to the non-volatile memory
Do not turn o the control power supply (24 VDC) while writing the data to the non-volatile memory, and also do not
turn o for 5 seconds after the completion of writing the data. Doing so may abort writing the data and cause an
EEPROM error alarm to generate. The non-volatile memory can be rewritten approximately 100,000 times.
If vertical drive (gravitational operation) such as elevator applications is performed or if sudden start-
stop operation of a large inertial load is repeated frequently, connect an accessory regeneration unit.
The overvoltage alarm may generate depending on the operating condition of the motor.
When the overvoltage alarm has generated, review the operating conditions or connect an accessory regeneration
unit. Refer to p.17 for connection method.
Note on connecting a power supply whose positive terminal is grounded
The USB communication connector, CN5, CN6 (*) and CN7 (*) connector are not insulated. When grounding the
positive terminal of the power supply, do not connect any equipment (PC, etc.) whose negative terminal is grounded.
Doing so may cause the driver and this equipment to short, damaging both. When connecting, do not ground
equipment.
* Excluding the pulse input type.

Do not wire the power supply cable of the driver in the same cable duct with other power lines or
motor cables. Doing so may cause malfunction due to noise.
The lead wires of the "cable for electromagnetic brake" have polarities, so connect them in the
correct polarities. If the lead wires are connected with their polarities reversed, the electromagnetic
brake will not operate properly.
Keep 20 m (65.6 ft.) or less for the wiring distance between the motor and driver. To extend more
than 20 m (65.6 ft.) may result in the driver heat generation or increase of the electrical noise
emitted from the product.
The control power supply (24 VDC) is required with or without an electromagnetic brake. Be sure
to connect it.
When unplugging the motor cable, do so while pressing the latches on the connector.
When installing the motor on a moving part, use an accessory exible cable having excellent ex
resistance.
