1. The cable sizing is based on max. 9 cables laid on a cable ladder side by side, three ladder type trays one
on top of the other, ambient temperature 30 °C, PVC insulation, surface temperature 70 °C (EN 60204-1
and IEC 60364-5-52/2001). For other conditions, size the cables according to local safety regulations,
appropriate input voltage and the load current of the drive.
2. The cable sizing is based on NEC Table 310-16 for copper wires, 75 °C (167 °F) wire insulation at 40 °C
(104 °F) ambient temperature. Not more than three current-carrying conductors in raceway or cable or earth
(directly buried). For other conditions, size the cables according to local safety regulations, appropriate input
voltage and the load current of the drive.

Symmetrical shielded cable with three phase conductors and a concentric PE
conductor as shield. The shield must meet the requirements of IEC 61439-1,
see page 72. Check with local / state / country electrical codes for allowance.
Symmetrical shielded cable with three phase conductors and a concentric PE
conductor as shield. A separate PE conductor is required if the shield does not
meet the requirements of IEC 61439-1, see page 72.
Symmetrical shielded cable with three phase conductors and symmetrically
constructed PE conductor, and a shield. The PE conductor must meet the
requirements of IEC 61439-1.
A four-conductor system (three phase conductors and a protective conductor on
a cable tray) is not allowed for motor cabling (allowed for input cabling).
