Design of the cables
It is imperative to comply with the regulations concerning minimum cross-sections
ƒ
of PE conductors. The cross-section of the PE conductor must be at least as large as
the cross-section of the power connections.
The cables used must comply with the approvals required for the location (e.g. UL).

6.2.1
Shielding
Requirements
The effectiveness of a shielded cable is reached by:
ƒ
– Providing a good shield connection through large-surface shield contact.
– Using only braided shields with low shield resistance made of tin-plated or
nickel-plated copper braid.
– Using braided shields with an overlap rate > 70 % and an overlap angle of 90 °.
– Keeping unshielded cable ends as short as possible.
Use system cables or shielded cables for these connections:
Motor
ƒ
Motor holding brake (shielding is required when being integrated into the motor
ƒ
cable; connection to optional motor brake control)
Motor temperature monitoring
ƒ
Analog signals (inputs and outputs; single-sided shield connection to the controller)
ƒ
The following connections need not be shielded:
12-V supply
ƒ
Digital signals up to a cable length of 3 m
ƒ
Connection system
Connect the shield with a large surface and fix it with a conductive clamp.
ƒ
Connect the shield directly to the terminal X13.
ƒ
– If required, additionally connect the shield to the conductive and earthed
mounting plate in the control cabinet.
– If required, additionally connect the shield to the cable clamp rail.
