Use as motor cabling Use as input power cabling Cable type
Yes Yes
„

PE
Symmetrical shielded (or ar-
mored) cable with three phase
conductors and symmetrically
constructed PE conductor and
a shield (or armor)
Yes Yes

PE
Symmetrical shielded (or ar-
mored) cable with three phase
conductors and a shield (or ar-
mor), and separate PE conduct-
or/cable
1)
1) A separate PE conductor is required if the conductivity of the shield (or armor) is not sufficient for the PE use.
Alternate power cable types
Use as motor cabling Use as input power cabling Cable type
Yes with phase conductor
smaller than 10 mm2 (8 AWG)
Cu, or motors up to 30 kW
(40 hp). Yes with phase conductor
smaller than 10 mm2 (8 AWG)
Cu.
PVC
Four-conductor cabling in PVC
conduit or jacket (three phase
conductors and PE)
Note: Shielded or armored
cable, or cabling in metal con-
duit is always recommended to
minimize radio frequency inter-
ference.
Yes with phase conductor
smaller than 10 mm2 (8 AWG)
Cu, or motors up to 30 kW
(40 hp) Yes
EMT
Four-conductor cabling in met-
al conduit (three phase con-
ductors and PE). For example,
EMT, or four-conductor ar-
mored cable
