Fig. 3-43    Recommendation of Installation space 
Attention:  
· Area Ⅰshould be used to install transformers of 
control power supply, control system and sensor.   
·Area  Ⅱ  should be used for interfaces of signal and 
control cables, correct immunity level is required. 
· Area Ⅲ  should be used to install noise sources such 
as input reactor, the drive, brake unit and contactor. 
·Area  Ⅳ  should be used to install output noise filter 
and the wires of filter. 
·Area  Ⅴ  should be used to install power source and 
cable connecting parts of RFI filter. 
·Area  Ⅵ  should be used to install motor and motor 
cables. 
·Areas should be isolated in space, so that 
electro-magnetic decoupling effect can be achieved. 
·The minimum distance between areas should be 20cm. 
·Earthing bars should be used for decoupling among 
areas, the cables from different area should be placed in 
different tubes. 
·The filter should be installed at the interfaces between 
different areas if necessary. 
·Bus cable(such as RS485) and signal cable must be 
shielded

Fig. 3-44 Installation of the drive 
·Motor cable should be earthed at the drive side, if 
possible, the motor and drive should be earthed 
separately; 
·Motor cable and control cable should be shielded or 
armored. The shield must be earthed and avoid 
entangling at cable end to improve high frequency noise 
immunity.  
·Assure good conductivity among plates, screw and 
metal case of the drive; use tooth-shape washer and 
conductive installation plate; 
Generally, if there are some sensitive equipment, it is 
more cost-effective to install the power filter at sensitive 
equipment side. 
3.4.7    Application of Power Line Filter 
Power source filter should be used in the equipment that 
may generate strong EMI or the equipment that is 
sensitive to the external EMI. The power source filter 
should be a two-way low pass filter through which only 
50Hz current can flow and high frequency current should 
be rejected. 
Function of power line filter 
The power line filter ensures the equipment can satisfy 
the conducting emission and conducting sensitivity in 
EMC standard. It can also suppress the radiation of the 
equipment.
