Choose Suitable Motor Cable and Precautions
Improper installation and choice of motor cable will affect the performance of EMI filter. Be
sure to observe the following precautions when selecting motor cable.
Use the cable with shielding (double shielding is the best).
The shielding on both ends of the motor cable should be grounded with the minimum
length and maximum contact area.
Remove any paint on metal saddle for good ground contact with the plate and shielding
(Please refer to Figure 1 below).
The connection between the metal saddle and the shielding on both ends of the motor
cable should be correct and well installed. Please refer to Figure 2 on next page for
correct wiring method.
