Screening
Unscreened cables behave like antennae, i.e. they act as
transmitters and receivers. To ensure EMC-compliant connection,
screen all interference-emitting cables (frequency inverter/motor
output) and interference-sensitive cables (analog reference and
measured value cables).
Screening control and signal cables
The following figure shows a sample protective circuit for the
control signal terminals.
The effectiveness of the cable screen depends on a good screen
connection and a low screen impedance. Use only screens with
tinned or nickel-plated copper braiding, braided steel screens are
unsuitable. The screen braid must have an overlap ratio of at least
85 percent and an overlap angle of 90°.
Screening motor supply cables
The screened cable between frequency inverter and motor should
be as short as possible. Connect the screen to earth at both ends
of the cable using a large contact surface connection.
Lay the cables for the supply voltage separately from the signal
cables and control cables.
h
To increase operational reliability, screen analog and
digital control signal cables and lay them well away from
the power cables.

With the optional ZB4-102-KS1, you can connect the
control cable screens at one end. Order this item
