3.2.2
Cables and wiring length
(1)
Cable size and other specifications of the main circuit terminals and the earthing terminal
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 (65.61feet).

∗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 (167°F).
Assumes that the surrounding air temperature is 50°C (122°F) or less and the wiring distance is 20m (65.61feet) or less.
∗2
The recommended cable size is that of the cable (THHW cable) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 75°C (167°F). Assumes that the
surrounding air temperature is 40°C (104°F) or less and the wiring distance is 20m (65.61feet) 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 (158°F). Assumes that the
surrounding air temperature is 40°C (104°F) or less and the wiring distance is 20m (65.61feet) 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).
(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).)
