Cable Installation - Siemens SINAMICS G150 Operating Manual

Electrical Installation
Shield Gaps
• Bridge shield gaps (at terminals, circuit-breakers, contactors, and so on) with
minimum impedance and the greatest possible surface area.
Using Large Cross-Sections
• Use underground and grounding cables with large cross-sections or, better still,
with litz wires or flexible cables.
Laying the Motor Supply Cable Separately
• The distance between the motor supply cable and signal cable should be > 20
cm. Do not lay power cables and motor supply cables in parallel to each other.
Securing the Potential to Ground Between Modules with Widely Differing
Interference Potential
• Lay an equalizing cable parallel to the control cable (the cable cross-section
must be at least 16 mm²).
• If relays, contactors, and inductive or capacitive loads are connected, the
switching relays or contactors must be provided with anti-interference elements.

Cable Installation

• Cables that are subject to or sensitive to interference should be laid as far apart
from each other as possible.
• Noise immunity increases when the cables are laid close to the ground
potential. For this reason, you are advised to lay these cables in corners and on
the ground potential.
• Ground the spare cables at at least one end.
• Long cables should be shortened or laid in noise resistant areas to avoid
additional connecting points.
• Conductors or cables that carry signals of different classes must cross at right
angles, especially if they carry sensitive signals that are subject to interference.
