AKD Installation | 9 Electrical Installation
9.7.3 Shielding connection to the drive
You can connect cable shielding directly to the drive by using grounding plates, shield con-
nection clamps, and a motor connector with strain relief and grounding plate.
9.7.3.1 Grounding plates
Mount the grounding plates to the drive as shown in the photos below.
AKD-x0306 to x1206 types:
L-shape grounding plate (EU only)
AKD-x02406 & xzzz07 types:
flat grounding plate
9.7.3.2 Shield connection clamps
Use shield connection clamps (see accessories manual). These hook into the
grounding plate and ensure optimum contact between the shield and the ground-
ing plate.
Kollmorgen recommends using Phoenix Contact SK14 shield clamps with
clamp range of 6-13mm.
9.7.3.3 Motor connector X2 with shielding connection
Alternative connection for the motor power connection by mating connector with strain relief.
Strip the external cable sheath to a length of approx. 120
mm, taking care not to damage the braided shield. Push
the braided shield (1) back over the cable and secure
with a rubber sleeve (2) or shrink sleeve.
Shorten all the wires apart from the protective earth (PE)
wire (green/yellow) by about 20 mm so that the PE wire
is now the longest wire. Strip all wires and fit wire end
ferrules.
Secure the braided shield of the cable to the shroud with
a cable tie (3) and use a second tie (4) to fasten the
cable.
Wire the connector as shown in the connection diagram.
Plug in the connector to the socket on the front of the
AKD.
Screw the connector in place. This ensures that there is
conductive contact over a large surface area between
the braided shield and the front panel.
