General requirements for EMC

Ground connections
The grounding arrangements should be in accordance with the following, which shows a single drive on a back-plate with or without an additional
enclosure. Figure 4-30 General EMC enclosure layout showing ground connections following shows how to configure and minimise EMC when using
un-shielded motor cable. However shielded cable is a better option, in which case it should be installed as shown in section 4.17.3 Sensitive control
signal on page 100.

filter
If the control circuit 0V
is to be grounded, this
should be done at the
system controller only to
avoid injecting noise
currents into the 0V circuit
~
3 phase AC supply
PE
The incoming supply ground
should be connected to a
single power ground bus bar
or low impedance earth
terminal inside the cubicle.
This should be used as a
common 'clean' ground for all
components inside the cubicle.

If ground connections are
made using a separate
cable, they should run
parallel to the appropriate
power cable to minimise
emissions

ground
connection
Use four core cable to
connect the motor to the drive.
The ground conductor in the
motor cable must be connected
directly to the earth terminal of
the drive and motor.
It must not be connected directly
to the power earth busbar.
