1.Power cables
The dimension of input power cable and motor cable should meet the local provision:
Input power cable and motor cable should bear the related load current.
The maximum rated temperature margin conditions of the motor cable should not be sustained
below 70 degrees.
Conductivity of the PE conductor and phase conductor capacity are the same(same cross-
sectional area),
About EMC requirements, see "EMC Guidance Content"
To meet the CE EMC requirements, a symmetrical shielded motor cable must be used (see figure
below).For input cables can use four-core cable, but still recommended to use shielded symmetrical
cable. Compared to a four-core cable, shielded symmetrical cables can not only reduce the loss and
cost of the current flowing through the motor cable, but also can reduce the electromagnetic radiation.

Note: If conductivity of the cable shield can not meet the requirements, you must use a separate
PE conductor.
To play a protective role of conductor, when the shield wire and phase conductors using the same
material, the cross-sectional area of the shield wire and phase conductors cross-sectional area must be
the same, aims to reduce grounding resistance, impedance continuity better.
To effectively suppress RFI transmission and conduction, the shield conductivity must be at least
1/10 of the phase conductor conductivity. For copper or aluminum shield, this requirement is very
easy to meet. Minimum requirements for the drive motor cable as shown below. Cable comprising a
layer of copper spiral. Shield tight as possible, that the more tightly the more we can effectively
suppress radiated electromagnetic interference.

2. Control Cable
All analog control cables and cables for the frequency input must be shielded. Analog signal
cable double-shielded twisted pair cable as shown in Figure 1. Each signal uses one pair individually
shielded twisted pair cable pair. Do not use the different analog signal with a ground wire.
