Safety Information and Precautions
W7B ASD Installation & Operation Manual
• See the section titled Installation and
Connections on pg. 13 for additional
information on installing the drive.
Mounting Requirements
•OnlyQualified Personnel should install this
equipment.
• Install the unit in a secure and upright
position in a well-ventilated area.
• As a minimum, the installation of the
equipment should conform to the National
Electrical Code — Article 110 (NEC), OSHA, as
well as any other applicable national, regional,
or industry codes and standards.
• Installation practices shall conform to the
latest revision of NFPA 70E Electrical Safety
Requirements for Employee Workplaces.
• It is the responsibility of the ASD installer/
maintenance personnel to ensure that the unit
is installed into an enclosure that will protect
personnel against electric shock.
Conductor Requirements and
Grounding
• Use separate metal conduits for routing the
input power, output power, and control circuits.
• A separate ground cable should be run
inside the conduit with the input power, output
power, and control circuits.
•DO NOT connect CC to earth ground.
• Always ground the unit to prevent electrical
shock and to help reduce electrical noise.
• It is the responsibility of the ASD installer/
maintenance personnel to provide proper
grounding and branch circuit protection in
accordance with the National Electrical Code
and any applicable local codes.

Not An Acceptable Ground —
Power Connections
• Turn off and lock out/tag out all power
sources before proceeding to connect the
power wiring to the equipment.
• After ensuring that all power sources are
turned off and isolated in accordance with
established lock out/tag out procedures,
connect the 3-phase power source wiring of the
correct voltage to the correct input terminals
and connect the output terminals to a motor of
the correct voltage and type for the application
(refer to NEC Article 300 – Wiring Methods and
Article 310 – Conductors For General Wiring).
Size the branch circuit conductors in
accordance with NEC Table 310.16.
• Adhere to the recommended conductor sizes
listed in the section titled Cable/Terminal
Specifications on pg. 196. If multiple conductors
are used in parallel for the input or output power
and it is necessary to use separate conduits,
each parallel set shall have its own conduit (i.e.,
place U1, V1, W1, and a ground wire in one
conduit and U2, V2, W2, and a ground wire in
another) (refer to NEC Article 300.20 and
Article 310.4). National and local electrical
codes should be referenced if three or more
power conductors are run in the same conduit
(refer to NEC Article 310 adjustment factors).
• Ensure that the 3-phase input power is NOT
connected to the output of the ASD. This will
damage the ASD and may cause injury to
personnel.
•DO NOT install the ASD if it is damaged or if
it is missing any component(s).
•DO NOT connect resistors across terminals
P
A – PC or PO – PC. This may cause a fire.
• Ensure the phase sequence is correct and
the desired direction of motor rotation in the
Bypass mode (if applicable).
• Turn on the power only after attaching and/or
closing the front cover.
Protection
• Ensure that primary protection exists for the
input wiring to the equipment. This protection
must be able to interrupt the available fault
