.5.8 Grounding precautions
Leakage currents flow in the inverter. To prevent an electric shock, the inverter and
motor must be grounded.
Use the dedicated ground terminal to ground the inverter. (Do not use the screw in
the casing, chassis, etc.)
Use a tinned* crimping terminal to connect the earth cable. When tightening the
screw, be careful not to break the threads.
*Plating should not include zinc.
Use the thickest possible ground cable. Use the cable whose size is equal to or
greater than that indicated in the following table, and minimize the cable length.
The grounding point should be as near as possible to the inverter.

For use as a product compliant with the Low Voltage Directive, use PVC cable
whose size is indicated within parentheses.
Ground the motor on the inverter side using one cable of the 4-core cable.
