Insulation resistance measurement

Do not make any voltage withstand or insulation resistance tests on any part of the drive!

Before motor cable connections are made, check the insulation

resistance of the motor and motor cable.

1. The motor cable must be disconnected from drive output terminals

U2,V2 and W2.

2. Insulation resistance of the motor

cable and motor between each phase
and the Protective Earth (PE) must be
higher than 1 MΩ at 1 kV DC.
