Procedure

In an AC drive setup, various types of cables and connectors are used. Here are some of them:
Power Cables: These are used to connect the AC drive to the power source. The type of power cable used
depends on the power requirements of the AC drive.

Motor Cables: These cables connect the AC drive to the motor. They are designed to handle the high voltage and
current requirements of the motor.
Control Cables: These are used to connect the AC drive to the control system. They carry signals for controlling
the operation of the drive.
Communication Cables: These cables are used for communication between the AC drive and other devices in the
system. They can be used for data transfer and monitoring purposes.
IEC Connectors: IEC connectors are used mostly for AC power input.
Barrel Connectors (Coaxial Power Connector): These are commonly used for power supply purposes.
The specific types of cables and connectors used can vary depending on the specific AC drive model and the
requirements of the setup. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines when setting up an AC drive system.
