Generally, the control cables should be shielded cables 
and the shielding metal net must be connected to the 
metal enclosure of the drive by cable clamps.

Besides, pay attention to the following points: 
In order to reduce the earthing resistance, flat cable 
should be used because the high frequency impedance 
of flat cable is smaller than that of round cable with the 
same CSA. 
For 4-core motor cable, the end of one cable should be 
connected to the PE of the drive, and the other end 
should be connected to the motor’s enclosure. If the 
motor and the drive each has its own earthing pole, then 
the earthing effect is better. 
If the earthing poles of different equipment in one 
system are connected together, then the leakage current 
will be a noise source that may disturb the whole system. 
Therefore, the drive’s earthing pole should be separated 
with the earthing pole of other equipment such as audio 
equipment, sensors and PC, etc. 
In order to reduce the high frequency impedance, the 
bolts used for fixing the equipment can be used as the
