With components that do not have any special shield connection or where the shield
connection is not sufficient, the cable shields can be connected to the metal mounting plate
using hose clamps and toothed rails. The cable length between the shield contact point and
the terminals for cable conductors must be kept as short as possible.
Shield contact plates with pre-prepared clip contacts are available for contacting the shields
for power cables of Line Modules and Motor Modules. Up to a module width of 100 mm,
these plates are part of the scope of supply of the components, or they are integrated in the
connector.
All cables inside the cabinet must be connected as closely as possible to parts connected
with cabinet ground, such as a mounting plate or cabinet wall. Ducts made of sheet steel or
routing cables between between steel sheets (e.g. between the mounting plate and back
wall) should provide adequate shielding.
Avoid, where possible, routing unshielded cables, connected to the drive line-up, in the
immediate vicinity of noise sources, e.g. transformers. Signal lines (shielded and unshielded)
connected to the drive line-up, must be routed as far as possible away from strong external
magnetic fields (e.g. transformers, line reactors). In both cases, a distance of ≥ 300 mm is
usually sufficient.
The Voltage Clamping Module conducts a high leakage current via the functional ground.
This means that a permanent PE connection must be provided for the cabinet (PE) rail.
Other than that the following measures must be taken in accordance with EN 61800-5-1:
Either protective ground conductor cross-sections ≥ 10 mm
protective ground conductor of the same cross-section as the first one.
