Binding Rule
1 Power cables and signal cables should be bound separately with
a distance longer than 150 mm.
2 Both ends of each cable should be labeled. Labels should be
concise and easy to understand.
3 Cable ties should be installed properly with no sharp burs, evenly
spaced, and fastened toward the same direction, as shown in
Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2.
4 Each output power cable bundle can contain 5–10 cables. If too
many cables are bound together, the cables may overheat due to
poor heat dissipation.
5 Extra cables should be coiled neatly and easy to nd.
6 Cables on the surface of a large cable bundle should be neatly
organized without unnecessary crossover.
7 Cables with dierent colors in a bundle should be arranged in
distinct layers without unnecessary crossover, as shown in Figure
6-3. Thickness takes priority over color in cable arrangement.
8 Cables should be reliably bound along the route, and the binding
interval should meet the requirements in Table 6-2.
9 Cables should be away from sharp components such as copper
bars and terminals to avoid scratching.
