Note the following points: 
• The grounding lead must be laid out in star configuration to conform 
to the EMC standards.
• The backing plate must be well grounded.
• The motor cable, mains lead and control cable must be laid 
separately from each other.
• Avoid loops, and lay cable over short distances.
• The operational leakage current is > 3.5 mA.
