2 160 SSC™ Variable Speed Controller (Series B)
General Instructions for an
EMC Compliant Installation
Refer to Figure 1.
Shielded Enclosure
• Typical NEMA or IEC metal enclosures are adequate.
• The ground connection of the shielded enclosure must be solidly
connected to the PE terminal of the controller. Good conductivity
must be assured – grounding must provide a low impedance path
to high frequency signals.
• All wiring, except input power leads, must use shielded cable.
• Input power, output power and control wiring inside the enclosure
must be physically separated.
• Input power, output power and control wiring outside the enclosure
must use separate shielded cables, or separate conduit.
Cable Clamps
• Use suitable EMC-tested cable clamps only.
• The connection area must be 360 degrees around the shielded cable.
• The cable clamps also provide strain-relief for the cable.
• When using conduit, the contact point of metal entry connections
must be free of paint or non-conductive surfaces and solidly
connected with good conductivity to the enclosure.
