General Precautions
!ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic
Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control
precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing or
repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD
control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with
static control procedures, reference A-B publication 8000-4.5.2,
“Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage” or any other
applicable ESD protection handbook.
!ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can
result in component damage or a reduction in product life.
Wiring or application errors, such as, undersizing the motor,
incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient
temperatures may result in malfunction of the system.
!ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with
adjustable frequency AC drives and associated machinery should
plan or implement the installation, start-up and subsequent
maintenance of the system. Failure to comply may result in
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
!ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the
voltage on the bus capacitors has discharged completely before
servicing. Check the DC bus voltage at the Power Terminal
Block by measuring between the +DC and -DC terminals,
between the +DC terminal and the chassis, and between the -DC
terminal and the chassis. The voltage must be zero for all three
measurements.
!ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. DPI
host products must not be directly connected together via 1202
cables. Unpredictable behavior can result if two or more devices
are connected in this manner.
!ATTENTION: The sheet metal cover and mounting screws on
the ASIC Board located on the power structure are energized at
(-) DC bus potential high voltage. Risk of electrical shock, injury,
or death exists if someone comes in contact with the assembly.

p-6 Overview
!ATTENTION: The “adjust freq” portion of the bus regulator
function is extremely useful for preventing nuisance overvoltage
faults resulting from aggressive decelerations, overhauling loads,
and eccentric loads. It forces the output frequency to be greater
than commanded frequency while the drive's bus voltage is
increasing towards levels that would otherwise cause a fault.
However, it can also cause either of the following two conditions
to occur.
1. Fast positive changes in input voltage can cause
uncommanded positive speed changes.
A. PowerFlex 700H An “OverSpeed Limit” fault will occur if
the speed reaches [Maximum Speed] + [Overspeed Limit].
If this condition is unacceptable, action should be taken to
1) limit supply voltages within the specification of the
drive and, 2) limit fast positive input voltage changes to
less than 10%. Without taking such actions, if this
operation is unacceptable, the “adjust freq” portion of the
bus regulator function must be disabled (see parameters
161 and 162).
B. PowerFlex 700S An “Abs Overspd Det” fault will occur if
the speed reaches [Rev Speed Limit] - [Abs OverSpd Lim]
or [Fwd Speed Limit] + [Abs OverSpd Lim]. If this
condition is unacceptable, action should be taken to 1)
limit supply voltages within the specification of the drive
and, 2) limit fast positive input voltage changes. Without
taking such actions, if this operation is unacceptable,
disable the bus regulator by setting parameter 414 [Brake/
Bus Cnfg], bit 3 “Bus Reg En” to zero (0).
2. Actual deceleration times can be longer than commanded
deceleration times.
A. PowerFlex 700H A “Decel Inhibit” fault is generated if the
drive stops decelerating altogether. If this condition is
unacceptable, the “adjust freq” portion of the bus regulator
must be disabled (see parameters 161 and 162). The
“Decel Inhibit” fault can be disabled by setting parameter
238 [Fault Config 1] bit 6 “Decel Inhib” to zero (0).
B. PowerFlex 700S A “Vref Decel Fail” fault is generated if
the drive stops decelerating altogether. If this operation is
unacceptable, disable the bus regulator by setting
parameter 414 [Brake/Bus Cnfg], bit 3 “Bus Reg En” to
zero (0). This fault cannot be disabled in the PowerFlex
700S.
Note: For both drives, installing a properly sized dynamic
brake resistor or external dynamic brake will provide equal or
better performance in most cases.
Important:These faults are not instantaneous. Test results
show they can take 2-12 seconds to occur.

General Installation Information
AC Supply Source
Considerations
Frame 9 - 14 PowerFlex 700H and 700S drives are suitable for use on a
circuit capable of delivering up to a maximum of 200,000 rms symmetrical
amperes, and a maximum of 690 volts.
If a system ground fault monitor (RCD) is to be used, only Type B
(adjustable) devices should be used to avoid nuisance tripping.
Unbalanced, Ungrounded or Resistive Grounded Distribution Systems
If phase to ground voltage will exceed 125% of normal or the supply system
is ungrounded, refer to Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) AC Drives, publication DRIVES-IN001…, for more
information.
!ATTENTION: To guard against personal injury and/or
equipment damage caused by improper fusing or circuit breaker
selection, use only the recommended line fuses/circuit breakers
specified in Appendix A.
!ATTENTION: PowerFlex 700H and 700S drives contain
protective MOVs and common mode capacitors that are
referenced to ground. These devices must be disconnected if the
drive is installed on a resistive grounded distribution system or an
ungrounded distribution system.

1-2 General Installation Information
Single-Phase Input Power
The PowerFlex 700H and 700S drives are typically used with a three-phase
input supply. The drives have been listed by UL to operate on single-phase
input power with the requirement that the output current is derated by 80%
of the three-phase ratings identified on pages A-5 to A-13.
Input Power Conditioning
All AC input drives include an internal line reactor.
Certain events on the power system supplying a drive can cause component
damage or shortened product life. These conditions are:
•The power system has power factor correction capacitors switched in and
out of the system, either by the user or by the power company.
•The power source has intermittent voltage spikes in excess of 6000 volts.
These spikes could be caused by other equipment on the line or by events
such as lightning strikes.
•The power source has frequent interruptions.
If any or all of these conditions exist, it is recommended that the user install
a minimum amount of impedance between the drive and the source. This
impedance could come from the supply transformer itself, the cable
between the transformer and drive or an additional transformer or reactor.
The impedance can be calculated using the information supplied in the
Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC
Drives, publication DRIVES-IN001…
Output Power Conditioning
Frame 14 drives can be ordered with or without output reactors (du/dt
filters). The du/dt filter limits the rate of change of output voltage and the
rate of change in the IGBT or output transistor switching event.
Refer to the Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for Pulse Width Modulated
(PWM) AC Drives, publication DRIVES-IN001…, for minimum
inductance on installations where du/dt filters are not installed.

General Installation Information 1-3
General Grounding
Requirements
Safety Ground - PE
The drive Safety Ground - PE must be connected to system ground.
Ground impedance must conform to the requirements of national and local
industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes. The integrity of all
ground connections should be periodically checked.
For installations within a cabinet, a single safety ground point or ground bus
bar connected directly to building steel should be used. All circuits
including the AC input ground conductor should be grounded
independently and directly to this point/bar.
Table 1.A Typical Grounding
Shield Termination - SHLD
The Shield terminal provides a grounding point for the motor cable shield.
It must be connected to an earth ground by a separate continuous lead. The
motor cable shield should be connected to this terminal on the drive (drive
end) and the motor frame (motor end). A shield terminating cable gland
may also be used.
When shielded cable is used for control and signal wiring, the shield
should be grounded at the source end only, not at the drive end.
RFI Filter Grounding
Using an optional RFI filter may result in relatively high ground leakage
currents. Therefore, the filter must only be used in installations with
grounded AC supply systems and be permanently installed and solidly
grounded (bonded) to the building power distribution ground. Ensure that
the incoming supply neutral is solidly connected (bonded) to the same
building power distribution ground. Grounding must not rely on flexible
cables and should not include any form of plug or socket that would permit
inadvertent disconnection. Some local codes may require redundant ground
connections. The integrity of all connections should be periodically
checked. Refer to the instructions supplied with the filter.

1-4 General Installation Information
Fuses and Circuit Breakers Frame 9 - 14 drives can be installed with either input fuses or an input
circuit breaker. National and local industrial safety regulations and/or
electrical codes may determine additional requirements for these
installations. Refer to Appendix A for recommended fuses/circuit breakers.
Power Wiring
Cable Types Acceptable for 200-690 Volt Installations
A variety of cable types are acceptable for drive installations. For many
installations, unshielded cable is adequate, provided it can be separated
from sensitive circuits. As an approximate guide, allow a spacing of 0.3
meters (1 foot) for every 10 meters (32.8 feet) of length. In all cases, long
parallel runs must be avoided. Do not use cable with an insulation thickness
less than or equal to 15 mils (0.4mm/0.015 in.). Use Copper wire only. Wire
gauge requirements and recommendations are based on 75°C. Do not
reduce wire gauge when using higher temperature wire.
Unshielded Cable
THHN, THWN or similar wire is acceptable for drive installation in dry
environments provided adequate free air space and/or conduit fill rates
limits are provided. Do not use THHN or similarly coated wire in wet
areas. Any wire chosen must have a minimum insulation thickness of 15
mils and should not have large variations in insulation concentricity.
!ATTENTION: Frame 9 - 14 PowerFlex drives do not provide
branch short circuit protection. Specifications for recommended
fuses to provide protection against short circuits are provided in
Appendix A.
!ATTENTION: National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI
etc.) and local codes outline provisions for safely installing
electrical equipment. Installation must comply with
specifications regarding wire types, conductor sizes, branch
circuit protection and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

General Installation Information 1-5
Shielded Cable
Shielded cable contains all of the general benefits of multi-conductor cable
with the added benefit of a copper braided shield that can contain much of
the noise generated by a typical AC drive. Strong consideration for shielded
cable should be given in installations with sensitive equipment such as
weigh scales, capacitive proximity switches and other devices that may be
affected by electrical noise in the distribution system. Applications with
large numbers of drives in a similar location, imposed EMC regulations or a
high degree of communications/ networking are also good candidates for
shielded cable.
Shielded cable may also help reduce shaft voltage and induced bearing
currents for some applications. In addition, the increased impedance of
shielded cable may help extend the distance that the motor can be located
from the drive without the addition of motor protective devices such as
terminator networks. Refer to Chapter 5, “Reflected Wave”in Wiring and
Grounding Guidelines for PWM AC Drives, publication DRIVES-IN001…
for more information.
Consideration should be given to all of the general specifications dictated by
the environment of the installation, including temperature, flexibility,
moisture characteristics and chemical resistance. In addition, a braided
shield should be included and be specified by the cable manufacturer as
having coverage of at least 75%. An additional foil shield can greatly
improve noise containment.
A good example of recommended cable is Belden® 295xx (xx determines
gauge). This cable has four (4) XLPE insulated conductors with a 100%
coverage foil and an 85% coverage copper braided shield (with drain wire)
surrounded by a PVC jacket.
Other types of shielded cable are available, but the selection of these types
may limit the allowable cable length. Particularly, some of the newer cables
twist 4 conductors of THHN wire and wrap them tightly with a foil shield.
This construction can greatly increase the cable charging current required
and reduce the overall drive performance. Unless specified in the individual
distance tables as tested with the drive, these cables are not recommended
and their performance against the lead length limits supplied is not known.
Armored Cable
Cable with continuous aluminum armor is often recommended in drive
system applications or specific industries. It offers most of the advantages
of standard shielded cable and also combines considerable mechanical
strength and resistance to moisture. It can be installed in concealed and
exposed manners and removes the requirement for conduit (EMT) in the
installation. It can also be directly buried or embedded in concrete.
Because noise containment can be affected by incidental grounding of the
armor to building steel when the cable is mounted, it is recommended the
armored cable have an overall PVC jacket (see Chapter 2, “Wire Types,” of

1-6 General Installation Information
Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC
Drives, publication DRIVES-IN001…).
Interlocked armor is acceptable for shorter cable runs, but continuous
welded armor is preferred.
Best performance is achieved with three spaced ground conductors, but
acceptable performance below 200 HP is provided via a single ground
conductor.

!ATTENTION: To avoid a possible shock hazard caused by
induced voltages, unused wires in the conduit must be grounded
at both ends. For the same reason, if a drive sharing a conduit is
being serviced or installed, all drives using this conduit should be
disabled. This will help minimize the possible shock hazard from
“cross coupled” motor leads.
