• Where control cables must cross power cables, make sure that they are arranged
at an angle as near to 90 degrees as possible.
• Do not run extra cables through the drive.
• Make sure that the cable trays have good electrical bonding to each other and to
the grounding electrodes. Aluminum tray systems can be used to improve local
equalizing of potential.
