Figure 33 Cable recommendations and restrictions.
The general rule for cable screen effectiveness is: the better and tighter the screen of the cable, the
lower the radiated emission level. Example of an effective construction is presented in Figure 34.
Figure 34 Effective motor cable screen (e.g. Ölflex-Servo-FD 780 CP, Lappkabel or MCCMK, NK
Cables).
Clamp the cable shield into the gland plate at the converter end and twist the cable screen wires
together into a bundle not longer than five times its width and connect it to the terminal marked
,
if you are using cable without a separate PE conductor.
At the motor end the motor cable screen must be earthed 360 degrees with an EMC cable gland
(e.g. ZEMREX SCG Screened cable glands) or the screen wires must be twisted together into a
bundle not longer than five times its width and connected to the PE terminal of the motor.
Symmetrical shielded cable: three phase
conductors and a concentric or otherwise
symmetrically constructed PE conductor,
and a shield

A separate PE conductor is required if the
conductivity of the cable shield is < 50 %
of the conductivity of the phase conductor.
Not allowed for motor cables.
