14. Electrical Installation Guidelines
Power supply wiring
Heavy machinery and instrumentation should not share the same power supply wiring. If this
cannot be avoided, noise filters and surge protectors should be used. Most UPS devices have
those features already integrated.
General guidelines for signal cables
The following guidelines are derived from European Standard EN 50170 for the transmission of
signals by copper wires.
When planning an installation, the rules provided by EN 50170 should be
followed under consideration of local circumstances to determine the position of machines and
equipment.
All ROTRONIC HygroClip products are tested for Electromagnetic Compatibility according
to following European standards:
-
EN 61000-6-3 + EN 61000-6-1 (residential)
-
EN 61000-6-4 + EN 61000-6-2 (industrial)
Whenever the level of electromagnetic interference is expected to be high, both the instruments
and signal cables should be placed as far away as possible from the source of interference.
In general, signal cables should be installed in bundles or channels / conduits, separate from
other cables as indicated in the table below:
•
Bus signals such as RS485
•
Data signals for PCs, printers etc.
•
Shielded analog inputs
•
Unshielded direct current (<= 60V)
•
Shielded process signals (<= 25 V)
•
unshielded
alternating
current
(<= 25V)
•
Coaxial cables for CRT monitors
in common bundles or channels / conduits
•
Direct current from 60 V to 400 V
(unshielded)
•
Alternating current from 25V to 400 V
(unshielded)
in separated bundles or channels /
conduits, without minimum distance
•
Direct and alternating current > 400 V
(unshielded)
•
Telephone lines
•
Lines leading into EX-rated areas
in separated bundles or channels /
conduits, without minimum distance
