Installation Considerations
Power Supply 
Overcurrent 
Protection
You are responsible for providing overcurrent protection (via circuit breakers and/or 
fuses) for the Vac mains supply and the 24 Vdc bias supply that are connected to 
the drive.
Earth 
Connections
Ensure the drive and associated servo motor are properly connected to earth.
Cable Separation
Route power and control (signal) cables separately. Schneider recommends a 
separation of at least 20 cm. This degree of separation improves the performance 
of the system. If a servo motor power cable includes wires for brake control, those 
wires have a separate shield which must be connected to earth at both ends of the 
cable.
Air Flow
Ensure that there is an adequate flow of cool, filtered air into the bottom of the 
switchgear cabinet containing the drive.
