Motor Cable Length Restrictions Tables
The distances listed in each table are valid only for specific cable
constructions and may not be accurate for lesser cable designs, particularly
if the length restriction is due to cable charging current (indicated in tables
by shading). When choosing the proper cable, note the following
definitions:
Unshielded Cable
•
Tray cable - fixed geometry without foil or braided shield but including an exterior cover
•
Individual wires not routed in metallic conduit
Definition Shielded Cable
•
Individual conductors routed in metallic conduit
•
Fixed geometry cables with foil or braided shield of at least 75% coverage
•
Belden 295xx or Alcatel C1202 needed, as indicated by individual table for specific drive
•
Continuous weld or interlocked armored cables with no twist in the conductors (may have and
optional foil shield)
Important:
Certain shielded cable constructions may cause excessive cable charging currents and may
interfere with proper application performance, particularly on smaller drive ratings. Shielded
cables that do not maintain a fixed geometry, but rather twist the conductors and tightly wrap the
bundle with a foil shield may cause unnecessary drive tripping. Unless specifically stated in the
table, the distances listed ARE NOT applicable to this type of cable. Actual distances for this
cable type may be considerably less.
