Wiring

(1) Cable sizes etc., of the main control circuit terminals and earth (ground) terminals
Select the recommended cable size to ensure that a voltage drop will be 2% or less.
If the wiring distance is long between the inverter and motor, a main circuit cable voltage drop will cause the motor torque to
decrease especially at the output of a low frequency.
The following table indicates a selection example for the wiring length of 20m.
Three-phase 200V class (when input power supply is 220V)
Three-phase 400V class (when input power supply is 440V)
Single-phase 200V class (when input power supply is 220V)
Single-phase 100V class (when input power supply is 100V)
∗1 The cable size is that of the cable (HIV cable (600V class 2 vinyl-insulated cable) etc.) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 75°C. Assumes
that the surrounding air temperature is 50°C or less and the wiring distance is 20m or less.
∗2 The recommended cable size is that of the cable (THHW cable) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 75°C. Assumes that the surrounding
air temperature is 40°C or less and the wiring distance is 20m or less. (Selection example for use mainly in the United States.)
∗3 The recommended cable size is that of the cable (PVC cable) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 70°C. Assumes that the surrounding air
temperature is 40°C or less and the wiring distance is 20m or less. (Selection example for use mainly in Europe.)
∗4 The terminal screw size indicates the terminal size for R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, U, V, W, PR, P/+, N/-, P1 and a screw for earthing (grounding).
Screw size for earthing (grounding) the FR-D720-15K is indicated in parentheses.
For single-phase power input, the terminal screw size indicates the size of terminal screw for R/L1, S/L2, U, V, W, PR, P/+, N/-, P1 and a screw for earthing
(grounding).
The line voltage drop can be calculated by the following formula:
Line voltage drop [V]=
Use a larger diameter cable when the wiring distance is long or when it is desired to decrease the voltage drop (torque
reduction) in the low speed range.

NOTE
y
Tighten the terminal screw to the specified torque. A screw that has been tightened too loosely can cause a short circuit or
malfunction. A screw that has been tightened too tightly can cause a short circuit or malfunction due to the unit breakage.
y Use crimping terminals with insulation sleeve to wire the power supply and motor.
