4.17.4 Grounding of the drive and EMC filter
Connect the shield of the motor cable to the ground terminal of the motor frame using a link that is as short as possible and not exceeding 50 mm
(2 in) long. A complete 360° termination of the shield to the terminal housing of the motor is beneficial.
From an EMC consideration it is irrelevant whether the motor cable contains an internal (safety) ground core, or if there is a separate external ground
conductor, or where grounding is through the shield alone. An internal ground core will carry a high noise current and therefore it must be terminated
as close as possible to the shield termination.
