    Do not connect single phase loads to the manufactured leg, T3. This places unnecessary load on the phase converter and may violate electrical code in some areas. Apply overload and short circuit protection to protect load side conductors, motors and other attached loads according to local electrical code.

  • Page 21: Routing Power Cables

    Routing Power Cables Note: Continuous metal conduit should be used for all power cables to reduce radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI). The conduit must be securely grounded to the converter enclosure converter and the motor case. Route power cables through the supplied openings in the bottom of the enclosure, using appropriate conduit or strain relief devices.
  • Page 22: On/Off Control Wiring

    ON/OFF Control Wiring The output of the converter can be controlled with a low power switch connected between the AUX1 or AUX2 and COM terminals. If installed, remove the factory installed jumper wire and replace with a switch. See Figure 17. When AUX1 to COM or AUX2 to COM is closed, the output is energized after a delay of approximately two seconds.

    In VFD mode the phase converter will automatically adjust the current on the generated leg to balance the three phase currents by adjusting the voltage of the generated leg. In this mode the output voltage may not be balanced. This function is typically used with some VFDs to prevent overheating of the VFD due to imbalanced currents induced by the non- linear nature of the VFD inverter.
