Routing the cables
Select the cable routes as follows:
• Put the input power cable (I), motor
cable (M) and control cables (C) into
separate trays.
• Put the motor cable (M) away from
the other cables.
• Make sure that there is a minimum of
200 mm between the input power
cable (I) and the control cables (C).
• Make sure that there is a minimum of
500 mm between the motor cable (M)
and the control cables (C).
• Make sure that there is a minimum
300 mm between the input power
cable (I) and the motor cable (M).
• If the control cables cross the input
power or motor cables, put the cables
at 90 degrees to each other.
• You can put several motor cables in
parallel.
• Do not install other cables in parallel
with the motor cables.
• Make sure that the cable trays are
electrically bonded to each other and
to the electrical ground.
• Make sure that the control cables are appropriately supported outside the drive to
relieve stress on the cables.
• Make sure that there are no sources of strong magnetic fields such as high-
current single-core conductors or contactor coils near the drive. A strong
magnetic field can cause interference or inaccuracy in the operation of the drive. If
there is interference, move the source of the magnetic field away from the drive.
