Motor cable
•
Only use lo
w-capacitance and shielded motor cables with braid made of nned or nickel-
pla
ted copper.
-
The overlap rate of the braid must be at least 70 % with an overlap angle of 90 °.
-
Shields made of steel braids are not suitable.
•
Shield the cable for motor temperature monitoring (PTC or thermal contact) and install it
separately from the motor cable.
-
In Lenze system cables, the cable for brake control is integrated into the motor cable. If
this cable is not required for brake control, it can also be used to connect the motor tem-
perature monitoring up to a length of 50 m.
-
Only certain inverters are provided with this connecon facility.
•
Connect the shield with a large surface and x it with metal cable binders or conducve
clamp. The following is suitable for the connecon of the shield:
-
The mounng plate
-
A central grounding rail
-
A shield sheet, oponal where necessary
•
This is opmal:
-
The mot
or cable is separated from the mains cables and control cables.
-
The motor cable only crosses mains cables and control cables at right angles.
-
The motor cable is not interrupted.
•
If the motor cable must be opened all the same (e. g. by chokes, contactors, or terminals):
-
The unshielded cable ends must not be longer than 100 mm (depending on the cable
cross-secon).
-
Install chokes, contactors, terminals etc. spaally separated from other components (with
a minimum dis
tance of 100 mm).
-
Install the shield of the motor cable directly before and behind the point of separaon to
the mounng plate with a large surface.
•
Connect the shield with a large surface to PE in the terminal box of the motor at the motor
housing.
-
Metal EMC cable glands at the motor terminal box ensure a large surface connecon of
the shield with the motor housing.
Control cables
•
Ins
tall the cables so that no inducon-sensive loops arise.
•
Dis
tance of shield connecons of control cables to shield connecons of motor cables and
DC cables:
-
At least 50 mm
•
Control cables for analog signals:
-
Must always be shielded
-
Connect the shield on one side of the inverter
•
Control cables for digital signals:
Cable length
< ca. 5 m ca. 5 m ... ca. 30 m > ca. 30 m
Design unshielded opon unshielded twisted opon always shielded
c
onnected on both sides
Network cables
•
Cables and wiring mus
t comply with the specicaons and requirements of the used net-
w
ork.
-
Ensures the reliable operaon of the network in typical systems.
