Motor cable shielding
Motor cables require shielding using conduit, armored cable or shielded cable.
• Conduit – When using conduit:
– Bridge joints with a ground conductor bonded to the conduit on each side of
the joint.
– Bond conduit run to the drive enclosure.
– Use a separate conduit run for motor cables (also separate input power and
control cables).
– Use a separate conduit run for each drive.
• Armored cable – When using armored cable:
– Use six-conductor (3 phases and 3 grounds), type MC continuous corrugated
aluminium armor cable with symmetrical grounds.
– Armored motor cable can share a cable tray with input power cables, but not
with control cables.
• Shielded cable – For shielded cable details, see section Motor cable
requirements for CE & C-Tick compliance on page 274 .
Grounding
See section Ground connections on page 266 .
For CE compliant installations and installations where EMC emissions must be
minimized, see section
Effective motor cable screens on page 275 .
Drive’s motor connection terminals
The drive’s motor and input power terminals have the same specifications. See
section
Drive’s power connection terminals on page 268 .
Motor cable requirements for CE & C-Tick compliance
The requirements in this section apply for CE or C-Tick compliance.
Minimum requirement (CE & C-Tick)
The motor cable must be a symmetrical three conductor cable with a concentric PE
conductor or a four conductor cable with a concentric shield, however, a symmetrical
constructed PE conductor is always recommended. The following figure shows the
minimum requirement for the motor cable screen (for example, MCMK, NK Cables).
