6.2 Overview of installation work
All cables and wiring must, at a minimum, follow the current NEC (National 
Electrical Code) Handbook requirements or equivalent, and must comply 
with all local codes. Any ABB recommendations will not replace these 
requirements.
Codes address cable selection from a safety and fire protection point of 
view; however, cables have a significant impact on the drive performance 
and reliability. Therefore, additional consideration is necessary for cable 
selection and installation to ensure safe and reliable operation.
The electrical installation includes the following wire and cable 
connections:
• Line supply and motor cables, ground cable and bonding 
conductors
See section 6.6 Line supply and motor cables.
• Auxiliary power and control cables
See section 6.7 Auxiliary power, control and fieldbus communication 
cables.
