Conductive sleeves are supplied by ABB as an option to provide 360
high-frequency earthing for motor cables. Follow these instructions:
• If fire insulation is used, make an opening to the mineral wool sheet
according to the diameter of the cable.
• Pull the cable into the cabinet through the conductive sleeve.
• If a rubber grommet is used, slide it onto the cable.
• Connect phase conductors to terminals.
• Twist the shield wires of the cable together and connect them to earth
terminal or PE busbar.
• Peel off 3 to 5 cm of the outer insulation of the cable above the entry
plate for the 360 ° high-frequency earthing.
• Fasten the conductive sleeve to the cable shield with a cable tie.
• Seal the slot between the cable and mineral wool sheet (if used) with
sealing compound (e.g. CSD-F, ABB brand name DXXT-11, code
35080082).
• Tie up the unused conductive sleeves with cable ties.
