Chapter 6 – Tips and Tricks
Use always screened cables for the interface cable and the
supply cable. Thereby you reduce the interference probability
by a ratio of 100 compared to unshielded cables and even up
to a ratio of 1000 if you also avoid loops.
The density of the shield netting should be at least 85%. To
avoid that the injected interference current on the shielded
cable becomes a source of interference itself, a connection
with low impedance to the grounding point is very important.
Connect the shield always on both sides to EMC grounding
(in general PE).
Place the bus cables at least 20 cm away from the power
cables, if possible in separate cable ducts.
Connect all unused leads of a cable always on both sides to
PE.
Use metallic or metallised plug housing. The shielding of the
cable should always be connected to the plug housing.
