Installation Guide

• Mount the drive vertically in a clean, dry panel.
• Keep the heatsink clear for airflow.
• Use the flange opening to send heat outside the panel.
• Order kit 22-JBAA to reach IP30 / NEMA 1 protection.
• Fit an external EMC filter for CE compliance.
• Use filter 22-RF010-AL for this rating.
• Keep motor cable short: 10 m in restricted or second environment, 1 m in unrestricted distribution.
• Use 100 m cable with an external L-type filter.
• Wire branch protection with UL Class J, CC, T or BS88 fuses, or a Bulletin 140M/140MT motor protector.
• Connect the brake resistor only if dynamic braking is needed.

FAQ

• Can this drive take a 240V single-phase feed?
• No. This catalog code is set for 100…120V single-phase input.
• Pick a different voltage code for 200…240V or 380…480V.

• Is a braking resistor required for normal stops?
• No. Ramp and Coast stops work without one.
• Add a resistor only for fast stops or overhauling loads.

• How do I get NEMA 1 protection?
• Order the field kit 22-JBAA for Frame A.
• It raises the rating to IP30 / NEMA 1 / UL Type 1.

• From experience, why does a short motor cable still cause noise?
• Poor shield bonding is the common cause.
• Clamp the shield to the panel at both ends.
• Keep control and power wires in separate ducts.

• From experience, what trips this drive in summer panels?
• Heat builds up when the flange opening is blocked.
• Clear the cutout, check airflow, and respect the 50 °C limit.
• Also confirm the 40 W loss figure fits your cabinet budget.
