6.2.3 Connection with/without cable lugs
In the case of terminals with terminal clamps, distribute the conductors in such a way that the
clamping heights on both sides of the fillet are about the same. This method of connection
requires that you must bend a single conductor in a U shape or use a cable lug. The same
applies to the inner and outer terminals of the ground conductor.
When connecting up using cable lugs, select their size corresponding to the required cable
cross-section and the stud size. An inclined arrangement is only permitted provided the
required air clearances and creepage distances are carefully maintained.
Remove insulation from the ends of the conductors so that the remaining insulation almost
reaches the cable lug.
Note
The direct contact between the cable lug surfaces and the contact nuts or contact screws
ensure that the connection can conduct current.
6.2.4 Connecting protruding cables
In the case of connection cables brought out of the machine, no terminal board is installed
on the terminal base of the machine housing. The connection cables are directly connected
to stator winding terminals at the factory.
The connection cables are color-coded or labeled. The customer directly connects individual
cables in the control cabinet for their system in accordance with the labeling.
