Page 108 HVAC Drive Design Guide 5.7.2. Use of EMC-Correct Cables Danfoss recommends braided screened/armoured cables to optimise EMC immunity of the control cables and the EMC emission from the motor cables. The ability of a cable to reduce the in- and outgoing radiation of electric noise depends on the transfer impedance (Z ).
