Cable Connectors / Glands
Choose cable connectors or glands that offer the best cable protection,
shield termination and ground contact. Refer to
Shield terminating connectors
The cable connector selected must provide good 360
o
contact and low
transfer impedance from the shield or armor of the cable to the conduit entry
plate at both the motor and the drive or drive cabinet for electrical bonding.

MS-SC/MS-SCL cable grounding connectors and NPT/PG
adapters from LAPPUSA are good examples of this type of shield
terminating gland. Use a connector with 3 ground bushings when using a
cable with 3 ground conductors.

If a shield terminating connector is not available, the ground conductors or
shields must be terminated to the appropriate ground terminal. If necessary,
use a compression fitting for ground conductor(s) and/or shields together as
they leave the cable fitting.

Important:
This is mandatory for CE compliant installations, to meet
requirements for containing radiated electromagnetic
emissions
