Pigtail Terminations
TL- and Y-Series motors have a short pigtail cable which connects to
the motor, but is not shielded. The preferred method for grounding
the TL- and Y-Series motor power cable on the motor side is to
expose a section of the cable shield and clamp it directly to the
machine frame. The motor power cable also has a 150 mm (6.0 in.)
shield termination wire with a ring lug that connects to the closest
earth ground. Use this method in addition to the cable clamp. The
termination wire may be extended to the full length of the motor
pigtail if necessary, but it is best to connect the supplied wire directly
to ground without lengthening.
