3.5 Cable Routing
3.5.1 Routing Precautions
● Do not connect the input power supply cables to the output terminals U, V, and W.
Failure to comply will damage the servo drive.
● When cables are bundled in a duct, the cooling effect will be deteriorated. In this
case, take the permissible current reduction ratio into account.
● High voltage may be still present in the servo drive after the power supply is
switched off. Do not touch the power supply terminals within 5 minutes after
power‑off.
● Do not switch on/off the power supply frequently. If the power supply is switched
on or off frequently within 1s, E740.0/E136.0/E430.0 may occur (see
"Troubleshooting" in SV670P Series Servo Drive Commissioning Guide). In this
case, power on the servo drive again after waiting for the specified ON/OFF
interval. If frequent ON/OFF operation is needed, the time interval between ON
and OFF must be at least 1 min.
The servo drive carries a capacitor in the power supply part, and this capacitor will
be charged with a high current for 0.2s upon power‑on. Turning on/off the power
supply frequently affects the performance of main circuit components inside the
servo drive.
● Do not power on the servo drive if terminal screws or cables are loose. Failure to
comply may lead to a fire.
Observe national or regional regulations when selecting cable dimensions.
Requirements on IEC cable selection:
● EN 60204‑1 and IEC 60364‑5‑52 standards
● Copper conductors with PVC insulation
● Heat resistance: 40°C ambient temperature and 70°C cable surface temperature
(Contact the manufacturer if the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C.)
