    Hi
    Thank you every one for your replies.
    I'm still confused ,
    If I connect all my earths to terminal 9 as manual states, my vfd has a large aluminium heat sink on the rear of it which will be bolted to my control cabinet, as my cabinet is earthed it will earth the vfd heat sink, the 2 bottom screws with the earth symbol will now be tha same earth as the whole system, as terminal 9 is not connected to any of this, won't there be a problem as I have 2 different earth points, based on star ground.
    I can't see why terminal 9 wouldn't be connected to the Aluminium heat sink.
    Or am I over thinking this.

    Can someone just confirm they have no continuity between terminal 9 and there aluminium heat sink
    On the rear of the vfd.

    Many thanks Paul

    Didn't open mine yet but VFD itself needs earth only for input filters and input and output varistors. I'm guessing that HY doesn't even have either.
    Linking all earth on one central bar is common practice in panel building.
    Run terminal 9 wire and motor earth to the same point as your cabinet earth.

    Thanks for reply, I did do as you and others had mentioned and it was fine.
    Thanks Paul
