Appendix C – Cable wiring/laying recommendations
The following recommendations are typically made to avoid issues arising from cable laying and installation.
• Pulsed signals (phase marker, rotation) are preferably to be on a separate cable from vibration and similar signals.
• Do not mix signal transmission cables and control/power system cables.
• All cable installations are to be made using grounded conduit pipe or cable racks.
