Place the motor cables sufficiently far from other cables:
• Avoid placing the motor cables in long parallel lines with other cables.
• If the motor cable runs in parallel with other cables, the minimum distance
between the motor cable and other cables is 0.3 m .
• The given distance also applies between the motor cables and signal cables
of other systems.
• The maximum length of the motor cables for MI1-3 is 30 m . If use longer
cable, current accuracy will be decreased.
• The motor cables should cross other cables at an angle of 90 degrees .

checks.

Connecting the cables:
• Strip the motor and mains cables as advised in Figure Stripping of cables.
• Connect the mains, motor and control cables into their respective termi-
nals, see Figures Vacon 10 power connections, MI1 - Install the control
cables.
• Note the tightening torques of power cables and control cables given in
Vacon 10 power connections, MI1 and Install the control cables. MI1 - MI3.
See Chapter6.2.
• For information on cable installation according to UL regulations see Chap-
