Planning the electrical installation
45
Where control cables must cross power cables make sure they are arranged at an
angle as near to 90 degrees as possible. Do not run extra cables through the drive.
The cable trays must have good electrical bonding to each other and to the
grounding electrodes. Aluminium tray systems can be used to improve local
equalizing of potential.
A diagram of the cable routing is below.
