2) Grounding
For grounding, use the wire of the size equal to or greater than that indicated in the following
table, and make it as short as possible.

(b) Example of selecting the wire sizes
When connecting multiple servo amplifiers, always use junction terminals for wiring the servo
amplifier terminals P, N. Also, connect the servo amplifiers in the order of larger to smaller
capacities.

capacities is 15kW since 7kW + 3.5kW + 2.0kW =
12.5kW.
Third unit:
8mm assuming that the total of servo amplifier
capacities is 7kW since 3.5kW + 2.0kW = 5.5kW.
Fourth unit:
3.5mm assuming that the total of servo amplifier
capacities is 2kW since 2.0kW = 2.0kW.

(4) Other precautions
(a) Always use the FR-CVL as the power factor improving reactor. Do not use the FR-BAL or FR-BEL.
(b) The inputs/outputs (main circuits) of the FR-CV and servo amplifiers include high-frequency
components and may provide electromagnetic wave interference to communication equipment
(such as AM radios) used near them. In this case, interference can be reduced by installing the
radio noise filter (FR-BIF) or line noise filter (FR-BSF01, FR-BLF).
(c) The overall wiring length for connection of the DC power supply between the FR-CV and servo
amplifiers should be 5m or less, and the wiring must be twisted.
