The connectable cable cross-sections for S120 components are specified in Chapter "Connection
system" of the SINAMICS S120 Equipment Manual Booksize Power Units (
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109781351
).
Note
Selection of the line supply cable
When selecting the line supply cable, observe the loop resistance to ensure that the relevant
protective elements (line fuse, residual current device, ...) function reliably, and that in the event
of a fault, no hazardous shock currents or touch voltages occur.
If the loop resistance of the line supply at the infeed point is not suitable, so that fuses do not
rupture in the specified time in the case of insulation failure (ground fault, fault to frame), then
you must use additional residual current devices RCD (RCCB or MRCD), Type B to protect
personnel and protect against fire.

For longer lengths, you must connect a suitable circuit to provide overvoltage protection. More information is provided in
Chapter "24 V DC supply" of the SINAMICS S120 Equipment Manual Booksize Power Units.
2)
To comply with EMC limit values, you must use shielded cables (preferably MOTION-CONNECT cables).
The maximum permissible cable lengths for S120 components are specified in Chapter
"Connection system" of the SINAMICS S120 Equipment Manual Booksize Power Units (
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109781351

Note
Total cable lengths to comply with the EMC category
The maximum total cable lengths of Smart Line Modules are specified in Chapter "Combination
options of Line Modules with line reactors and line filters" (Page 114).
