[ Table4-3 ] Type of Grounding
7) It is recommended that the thickness of the cable shall allow more than the minimum requirement
specified for a power condenser, and the length of the cable shall be within 1.5 m. No wiring is necessary
if there is a power condenser with a sufficient capacity in the bus conductor.
8) Leave intact the factory specification of the overcurrent protection device. If the change is unavoidable,
keep the set values within the range specified in the user’s manual. The cable shall allow more than the
minimum requirement specified.
9) As the operating current varies depending on a given condition, it is recommended to allow about 20%
extra.
10) Install a circuit breaker in the main power to protect the motor. The circuit breaker shall have a built-in
electric leak breaker.
11) Use the ground terminal on a motor or a control box to earth the equipment.

1) As the grounding on a steel structure of the building may cause the failure of the operation, always
earth on the ground. The maximum allowable length of the grounding conductor is 20 m.
2) If there is a risk of inductive interference on an electronic calculator or a telecommunication
equipment, install a surge killer on the magnetic switch used.
3) The compressor has a complete wiring inside, and no separate wiring or maintenance is necessary.
If any maintenance is needed, see the circuit diagram in the user’s manual provided with the
compressor.
