Being new to this fun world and have learned a lot but feel very exposed with what I don't know, where can I go to find out about the grounding issue? I am unaware of any grounding done with this machine. I can give any information you may need in order to ensure "safe" operation.
time to start a new search today.... "proper grounding..."
Thanks,

As a point of interest, of all the VFD's I have installed over the years I have never used any 'special' cable from motor to VFD.
I typically used MTW/TEW for the three conductors tightly twisted and a ground ran along side.
I did in most cases use metallic flex conduit.
If you can get the shields type cheap then go for it. but when I was installing the only option was High $$ Belden specialty version.
