Safety Warnings
AC drives, like all electrical equipment in
industry, if not properly installed and operated
can cause personal injury. Always use
common sense when working around electrical
equipment. Make sure you read this manual
before any work on the drive begins. Never
work on this drive if you are tired or under the
influence of any drug. The drive must be
grounded and installed in accordance with
National Electrical Codes (NEC) and any local
codes. Make sure that all power is
disconnected, before working on the drive.
Always measure the incoming voltage at the
drive to make sure it is zero after disconnecting
the power. Make sure all air passages are
clear for proper cooling of the drive. After the
drive is energized lethal voltages are present.
Wait at least 5 minutes after disconnecting
power before working on the drive, since
high voltages will still be present. Call us if you
have any questions.
Branch Circuit Protection
Branch circuit protection must be provided by
the end user. In this manual you will find
recommended fuse sizes and types for each
Horsepower size.
Mounting Location Of The Drive
The drive should be installed in a well
ventilated, moisture free area. If there are:
fumes; vapors; dirt; lint;, liquids or gases
that can interact with the drive, then a clean
air supply must be provided. The ambient
temperature should not exceed the range of
14 F to 122 F (-10 C to 50 C). If the drive
will be subject to vibration then the
enclosure should be shock mounted.
Maintenance
If the enclosure is subject to foreign material,
clean the enclosure and check any filters for
build up of debris. If the inside of the enclosure
needs cleaning, a low pressure vacuum
cleaner is recommended. Do not use an air
hose because of the possible oil vapor in the
compressed air and its high pressure.

1-8 INTRODUCTION
END INTRODUCTION SECTION

INSTALLATION AND WIRING 2-1
2.0 INSTALLATION AND WIRING
Section 2.0 provides the information needed to
properly mount and wire the PHOENIX Drive. Since
most start-up difficulties are the result of incorrect
wiring, it is essential that the wiring is done as
instructed. Read and understand this section in its
entirety before actual installation begins.
2.1 SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the
construction and operation of this equipment and the
hazards involved should install, adjust, operate or
service this equipment.
WARNING
The control and its associated motors and operator
control devices must be installed and grounded in
accordance with all national and local codes (NEC,
VDE 0160, BSI, etc.). To reduce the potential for
electric shock, disconnect all power sources before
initiating any maintenance or repairs. Keep fingers
and foreign objects away from ventilation and other
openings. Keep air passages clear. Potentially lethal
voltages exist within the drive enclosure and
connections. Use extreme caution during installation
and start-up.
WARNING
The following information is only a guide for proper
installation. US Drives cannot assume responsibility
for the compliance or noncompliance to any code,
national, local or otherwise for the proper installation of
this drive or associated equipment. A hazard of
personal injury and/or equipment damage exists if
codes are ignored during the installation.
2.2 INITIAL CHECKS
Before installing the PHOENIX Drive, check the unit
for physical damage sustained during shipment. If
damaged, file a claim with the shipper and return for
repair following the procedures outlined on the back
cover. If no damage is observed, remove all shipping
restraints and padding. Check drive nameplate data
for conformance with the AC power source and motor.
2.3 DETERMINING CONTROL LOCATION
The PHOENIX Drive is suitable for most well-
ventilated factory areas where industrial equipment is
installed. Locations subject to steam vapors or
excessive moisture, oil vapors, flammable or
combustible vapors, chemical fumes, corrosive gases
or liquids, or excessive dirt, dust or lint should be
avoided unless an appropriate enclosure has been
supplied or a source of clean air is supplied to the
enclosure. The location should be dry and the
ambient temperature should not exceed 122°F (50°C).
If the mounting location is subject to vibration, the unit
should be shock mounted.
2.4 MOUNTING
Figure 2-1 shows the minimum required surrounding
air space for panel mounted PHOENIX Drives (size 1
through size 3 units). Note that the panel mounted
units must be mounted in an upright position. Figure
2-2a shows dimensional information for size 1 through
size 2 units. Figure 2-2b shows dimensional
information for size 3 through size 4 units. If through
panel mounting is chosen (available on size 1 through
size 3 units), a suitable sealant should be applied to
the mounting faces of the drive and the panel to
prevent leakage.

2-4 INSTALLATION AND WIRING
2.5 AC SUPPLY SOURCE
PHOENIX Drives are suitable for use on a power
system capable of delivering up to a maximum of
200,000 rms symmetrical amperes, 250/500/600
+10% volts maximum when used with AC input line
fuses specified in tables 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 respectively.
WARNING
To guard against personal injury and/or equipment
damage caused by improper fusing, use only the
recommended line fuses specified in tables 1-1, 1-2
and 1-3.
2.5.1 Unbalanced Distribution Systems
The PHOENIX Drive is designed to operate on three-
phase supply systems whose line voltages are
symmetrical. Surge suppression devices are included
to protect the drive from lightning induced overvoltages
between line and ground. Where the potential exists
for abnormally high phase-to-ground voltages (in
excess of 125% of nominal), or where the supply
ground is tied to another system or equipment that
could cause the ground potential to vary with
operation, suitable isolation is required for the drive.
Where this condition exists, an isolation transformer is
strongly recommended.
2.5.2 Ungrounded Distribution Systems
All PHOENIX Drives are equipped with an MOV (Metal
Oxide Varistor) that provides voltage surge protection
which is designed to meet IEEE 587. The MOV circuit
is designed for surge suppression only (power line
transient protection), not continuous operation.
With ungrounded distribution systems, the phase-to-
ground MOV connection could become a continuous
current path to ground where the phase-to-ground
voltages are continuously above 125% of the nominal
line to line voltage.
2.5.3 Input Power Conditioning
Since all PHOENIX Drives have a built in 3% bus
reactor, an external line reactor or isolation
transformer is generally not required. Under extreme
conditions, however, an external line reactor or
isolation transformer may be required.
The basic guidelines for determining if a line reactor or
isolation transformer is required are as follows:
1. If the AC input power system does not have a
neutral or one phase referenced to ground (see
section 2.5.2), an isolation transformer with the
neutral of the secondary grounded is highly
recommended. If the line-to-ground voltages
on any phase can exceed 125% of the nominal
line-to-line voltage, an isolation transformer with
the neutral of the secondary grounded, is
always required.
2. If the AC line supplying the drive has power
factor correction capacitors that are switched in
and out, an isolation transformer or 3% line
reactors are recommended between the drive
and the capacitors.
3. If the AC line frequently experiences transient
power interruptions or significant voltage spikes,
an isolation transformer or 3% reactors are
recommended.
2.5.4 Input Fusing
WARNING
PHOENIX Drives sizes 1 through 4 do not provide
input power short circuit fusing. Maximum Recom-
mended AC Line Fuses are shown in tables 1-1, 1-2
and 1-3. Note that branch circuit breakers or
disconnect switches can not respond fast enough to
provide the level of protection that the drive
components require.
2.6 Input Devices
WARNING
Hardwired Stop Circuit
The drive start/stop control circuitry includes solid-
state components. If hazards due to accidental
contact with moving machinery or unintentional flow of
liquid, gas or solids exist, an additional hardwired stop
circuit is required to remove AC line power to the drive.
When AC power is removed, the motor will coast to a
stop. Consequently, an auxiliary braking method may
be required.
WARNING
Motor Starters
The PHOENIX Drive is intended to be controlled by
control input signals that will start and stop the motor.
A device that routinely disconnects then reapplies line
power to the drive for the purpose of starting and
stopping the motor is not recommended.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING 2-5
WARNING
Bypass Contactors
An incorrectly applied or installed bypass system can
result in Drive damage or reduction in product life.
The most common mistakes are:
• Wiring the AC line to the Drive output or control
terminals.
• Incorrect bypass or output circuits.
• Output circuits that do not directly connect to the
motor.
2.7 ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
(EMI/RFI)
2.7.1 Drive Immunity
The immunity of the PHOENIX Drives to externally
generated interference is outstanding. No special
precautions other than following the procedures
outlined in this manual are required.
It is recommended that the coils of AC and DC
energized contactors interfaced with the drives be
suppressed with RC networks and diodes respectively
or with similar devices. This is because non-
suppressed coils (inductors) can generate high
electrical transients.
In areas prone to frequent lightning strikes, the
standard MOV’s (Metal Oxide Varistors) supplied with
the drive may need to be supplemented with
additional surge suppression MOV’s on the AC line
feeding the drive
2.7.2 Drive Emissions
Care must be used in the routing of power and ground
connections to the drive to avoid interference with
sensitive equipment that may be nearby. The cable
from the drive to the motor carries switched voltages
and should be routed well clear of sensitive
equipment. The ground conductor of the motor cable
should be connected to the drive ground stud directly.
Connecting this ground conductor to a cabinet ground
point or ground bus bar may cause high frequency
current to circulate in the ground system of the drive
enclosure. The motor end of this ground conductor
must be solidly connected to the motor case ground.
See Figure 2-3.
Shielded or armored cable may be used to minimize
radiated emissions from the motor cable. The shield
or armor should be connected to the drive ground stud
and to the motor ground as shown in Figure 2-3.
2.8 GROUNDING
Refer to the “Recommended Power Wiring” diagram in
figure 2-3 for grounding instructions. The drive must
be connected to AC system ground using the power
ground stud(s) provided near the input and output
power terminal blocks. All drives provide a separate
power ground stud or terminal point for both the input
AC power terminal blocks (L1, L2 and L3) and the
output to motor terminal blocks (U, V, and W). Ground
impedance must conform to requirements of national
and local industrial codes (NEC, VDE 0160, BSI, etc.)
and should be inspected and tested at regular
intervals.
The outgoing motor cable ground wire connects
directly to the power ground stud as well as incoming
AC line system ground wire. These ground wires
must have a current rating in compliance with the
above mentioned national and local codes. This
results in the motor frame ground to be solidly
connected through the drive chassis to the AC system
ground.
Note that the drive signal common (COM) should not
be connected to the power ground stud directly. If
desired, one of these commons may be connected to
earth ground at a single point outside the drive
enclosure - see section 2.8.3 for more details.
For multiple drive systems, if the signal common on
each drive is to be grounded, they can be “daisy-
chained” connected, using a single COM point on each
drive. Note that this drive COM “bus” should only tie to
earth ground at only one point.
2.8.1 Grounding Sensitive Circuits
It is critical to control the paths through which high
frequency ground currents flow. Sensitive circuits
should not share a path with such currents. Control
and signal conductors should not be run near or
parallel to power conductors.
2.8.2 Motor Cable Grounding
The ground conductor of the motor cable (drive end)
must be connected to the power ground stud
provided near the U, V and W output to motor
terminals. Grounding directly to drive provides a direct
path for high frequency current returning from the
motor frame and ground conductor. At the motor end,
the ground conductor should also be connected to the
motor case ground. See Figure 2-3.
If armored or shielded cables are used, the
armor/shield should be grounded at both ends per
figure 2-3.

2-6 INSTALLATION AND WIRING
2.8.3 Control Logic and Signal Grounding
The control logic and signal wiring for the PHOENIX
Drive is shown in Figure 2-4. If the control wires are
short, and contained within a cabinet that has no
sensitive circuits, the use of shielded control wiring is
not necessary. For all configurations, it is strongly
suggested that shielded wire be used for the signal
wiring.
It is generally recommended that the drive control
board signal common (COM) be connected to true
earth ground at one point in a single or multi-drive
system. For this case, a single #16AWG wire should
be connected from one COM terminal on the control
board to a single point outside of the drive enclosure.
With this ground connection in place, shields from
incoming signal cables may be grounded at the control
board terminal block COM terminals. The remote end
of the shielded signal cables should be taped off with
no connection to earth ground.
CAUTION
Floating Signal Common
If the signal common (COM) on the drive control board
is to be left floating (not connected to earth ground),
the shields should be grounded only at the remote
end. At the drive end, the shields should be taped off.
For the case of a floating signal common on the drive
control board, signal shields for external cables routed
to the drive control board terminal blocks must not be
connected to any of the COM terminals. This is so
high frequency ground currents will not be injected into
the control board signal common with no low
impedance path to ground.
