3.2.5 EMC-correct Electrical Installation
General points to be observed to ensure EMC-correct electrical installation:
•
Use only shielded/armored motor cables and shielded/armored control cables.
•
Ground the shield at both ends.
•
Avoid installation with twisted shield ends (pigtails), because it reduces the shielding effect at high frequencies.
Use the cable clamps provided.
•
Ensure the same potential between the frequency converter and the ground potential of PLC.
•
Use star washers and galvanically conductive installation plates.
