Separate control cable ducts

Lead 24 V and 230 V (120 V) control cables in separate ducts unless the 24 V cable is
insulated for 230 V (120 V) or insulated with an insulation sleeving for 230 V (120 V).
￭ Continuous motor cable shield or enclosure for equipment on the
motor cable
To minimize the emission level when safety switches, contactors, connection boxes or
similar equipment are installed on the motor cable between the drive and the motor:
• European Union: Install the equipment in a metal enclosure with 360 degree grounding
for the shields of both the incoming and outgoing cable, or connect the shields of the
cables otherwise together.
• US: Install the equipment in a metal enclosure in a way that the conduit or motor cable
shielding runs consistently without breaks from the drive to the motor.

Implementing thermal overload and short-circuit protection

￭

Protecting the input cabling and the drive upon a short-circuit

To protect the input cabling in short-circuit situations, install fuses or a suitable circuit breaker
at the supply side of the cabling.
