3-8 ACS/ACC/ACP 601 Frequency Converters
Cable Connections
Recommended earthing, mains and motor cable connections are
presented below. See
Appendix B – Dimensional Drawings
to locate
the terminals.

1) Alternative to earthing of the ACx 601 and the motor through the cable
screen.
Note:
Connecting the fourth conductor of the motor cable at the motor end
increases bearing currents, thus causing extra wear.
2) Used if the conductivity of the cable screen is < 50 % of the conductivity of
the phase conductor.

For minimum radio frequency interference
(RFI) at the motor end, earth the cable
screen 360 degrees at the lead-through of
the motor terminal box or earth the cable by
twisting the screen (flattened width >
1/5 ·
length).
Earth the other end of the mains cable at
the distribution board.

Clamp cable lugs on the phase conductors.
Isolate the ends of the cable lugs by self-fusing
(self-amalgamating) tape.
