Cable routing requirements
The following requirements apply specifically to VCB cable harnesses:
• Clamping VCB cables together with VCA cables is prohibited
• The minimum permitted distance between a connection point on VCB cables and
VCA cables during parallel connection is 100 mm
• The longest permitted distance between a connection point on a VCB component
and the first clamping point on a VCB cable is 150 mm
• The longest permitted distance between clamping points for VCB cables is
300 mm
• Position the entire VCB cable harness in an orange protection hose
• Positive and negative conductors should be positioned together. It is also recom-
mended that the cable for equipotential bonding is positioned together with a pos-
itive and negative conductor where possible.
• If possible, position the bodywork VCB cable harness together with the vehicle's
VCB cable harness. Use existing brackets and cable ducts for VCB cables where
possible.
• The electrical connection between the cable shield and VCB components must be
ensured by measuring resistance
• Perform a continuity measurement and record the result. The maximum permitted
value including contact points is 50 mOhm.
• Follow the cable manufacturer's instructions regarding the maximum permitted
bend radius for cables
More information is found in the document Working with cables and lead throughs.
