1.3.6 EMC-compatible Electrical Installation

General points to be observed to ensure EMC-compatible electrical installation.
•
Use only shielded/armored motor cables and shielded/armored control cables.
•
Connect the shield to ground at both ends.
•
Avoid installation with twisted shield ends (pigtails), since this ruins the shielding effect at high frequencies. Use
the cable clamps provided instead.
•
Ensure the same potential between drive and ground potential of PLC.
•
Use starwashers and galvanically conductive installation plates.
Figure 1.21 EMC-compatible Electrical Installation
For North America, use metal conduits instead of shielded cables.
