Power cable connection
Connecting the power cables
• Connect the twisted shield of the cable to the drive grounding terminal. Note:
cable lugs are needed in frame sizes R2 and R3.
• Supply cable grounding:
If shielded cable is used, and the conductivity of the
shield is < 50% of the conductivity of the phase conductor, use a separate PE
cable (1) or a cable with a grounding conductor (2). With shielded cable 360°
grounding of the supply cables is recommended.
Motor cable grounding:
Use a separate grounding cable (3) if the conductivity of
the cable shield is < 50% of the conductivity of the phase conductor and there is
no symmetrically constructed grounding conductor in the cable (see Planning the
electrical installation: Selecting the power cables).
360 degrees grounding is required at the cabinet entry in first environment
installations. First environment EMC compliance is defined in chapter Technical
data.
Note: If there is a symmetrically constructed grounding conductor in the motor
cable in addition to the conductive shield, connect the grounding conductor to the
grounding terminal at the drive and motor ends.
Note: Do not use an asymmetrically constructed motor cable. Connecting its
fourth conductor at the motor end increases bearing currents and causes extra
wear.
