4. Motor cables should be as short as possible so as to reduce the leakage
current to earth.
5. Selection of control cables
Generally, the control cables should be shielded and the shield must be
connected to the metal enclosure of the drive by cable clamps at both ends.
6. Control cables, input power cables and motor cables should be installed
separately
Adequate clearance should be left between the cables, especially when the
cables are laid in parallel and long. If the signal cables have to cross over the
power cables, keep them vertical to each other, as shown in Figure 3-8.

The suppressors are generally varistor, RC filter or diode as illustrated in
