1. Introduction
• GT700E drives should be installed only by qualified electrical persons and in accordance with local and
national regulations and codes of practice. The GT700E has an Ingress Protection rating of IP20. For higher
IP ratings, use a suitable enclosure.
• Electric shock hazard! Disconnect and ISOLATE the GT700E before attempting any work on it. High voltages
are present at the terminals and within the drive for up to 10 minutes after disconnection of the electrical
supply.
• Where supply to the drive is through a plug and socket connector, do not disconnect until 10 minutes have
elapsed after turning off the supply
• Ensure correct earthing connections. The earth cable must be sufficient to carry the maximum supply fault
current which normally will be limited by the fuses or MCB
• The STOP function doesn’t remove potentially lethal high voltages. Isolate the drive and wait 10 minutes
before starting any work on it
• Parameter P-01 can be set to operate the motor at up to 60,000 rpm, hence use this parameter with care.
• If it is desired to operate the drive at any frequency/speed above the rated speed (P-09/ P-10) of the motor,
consult the manufacturers of the motor and the driven machine about suitability for over-speed operation.
• The fan (if fitted) inside of the GT700E starts automatically when the heatsink temperature reaches
approximately 45ºC.

3.1. General
• Store the GT700E in its box until required. Storage should be clean and dry and within the temperature range –
40°C to +60°C
• Install the GT700E on a flat, vertical, flame-resistant, vibration-free mounting within a suitable enclosure,
• Install the GT700E according to EN60529 if specific Ingress Protection ratings are required
• The GT700E must be installed in a pollution degree 1 or 2 environment
• Sizes 1 & 2 are DIN rail mountable, Size 3 is not DIN rail mountable.

User Guide
4. Power Wiring
This drive contains high voltage capacitors that take time to discharge after removal of main supply. Before working
on the drive, ensure isolation of main supply from line inputs. Wait ten (10) minutes for capacitors to discharge to
safe voltage levels. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction and operation of this equipment and the hazards
involved should install, adjust, operate, or service this equipment. Read and understand this manual and other
applicable manuals in their entirety before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe
bodily injury or loss of life.
NOTE Use the dedicated ground terminal to ground the drive. Do not use mounting screws/bolts or chassis screws for grounding
Safety Ground
This is the safety ground for the drive that is required by code. One of these points must be connected to adjacent building
steel (girder, joist), a floor ground rod, or bus bar. Grounding points must comply with national and local industrial safety
regulations and/or electrical codes.
Motor Ground
The motor ground must be connected to one of the ground terminals on the drive.
Shield Termination (Cable Screen)
The safety ground terminal provides a grounding point for the motor cable shield. The motor cable shield connected to this
terminal (drive end) should also be connected to the motor frame (motor end). Use a shield terminating or EMI clamp to
connect the shield to the safety ground terminal.
When shielded cable is used for control and signal wiring, the shield should be grounded at the source end only, not at the
drive end.
