Routing The Cables - ABB ACS380 Hardware Manual

Routing the cables

I
M
• Make sure that the control cables are appropriately supported outside the drive to
relieve stress on the cables.
• Make sure that there are no sources of strong magnetic fields such as high-
current single-core conductors or contactor coils near the drive. A strong
magnetic field can cause interference or inaccuracy in the operation of the drive. If
there is interference, move the source of the magnetic field away from the drive.
Planning the electrical installation 55
Select the cable routes as follows:
• Put the input power cable (I), motor
cable (M) and control cables (C) into
separate trays.
• Put the motor cable (M) away from
the other cables.
• Make sure that there is a minimum of
200 mm between the input power
cable (I) and the control cables (C).
• Make sure that there is a minimum of
500 mm between the motor cable (M)
and the control cables (C).
• Make sure that there is a minimum
300 mm between the input power
cable (I) and the motor cable (M).
C
• If the control cables cross the input
power or motor cables, put the cables
at 90 degrees to each other.
• You can put several motor cables in
parallel.
• Do not install other cables in parallel
with the motor cables.
• Make sure that the cable trays are
electrically bonded to each other and
to the electrical ground.
