Note: For CE compliance, a 3-phase mains filter must be connected between the mains supply
and the MintDrive. The MintDrive and motor earths should be connected to the enclosure
backplane. (The enclosure backplane should be connected to the earth at the mains source.
There should be a separate connection from the earth at the mains source to the plant
ground rod).
