￭ Power cable types
Recommended power cable types
This section presents the recommended cable types. Check with local / state / country
electrical codes for allowance.

PE
Symmetrical shielded (or armored)
cable with three phase conductors
and concentric PE conductor as
shield (or armor)

PE
Symmetrical shielded (or armored)
cable with three phase conductors
and a shield (or armor), and separ-
ate PE conductor/cable

1)
A separate PE conductor is required if the conductivity of the shield (or armor) is not sufficient for the PE use.
Alternate power cable types
Exception for ACS880-304LC +A019 diode supply modules: These power cable types are
not allowed.

to 30 kW (40 hp)
Yes
EMT
Four-conductor cabling in metal
conduit (three phase conductors and
PE), eg, EMT, or four-conductor ar-
mored cable
