Siemens SIMOTICS M-1PH8 - Routing Cables in a Damp Environment

• Unused cable entries must be closed and the screw plugs must be screwed tight.
• All the sealing surfaces must be in a perfect condition.
Connecting the ground conductor
The ground conductor cross-section must be in full conformance with the installation
regulations, e.g. acc. to IEC/EN 60204-1.
For shaft height 225 and shaft height 280, also connect the grounding conductor to the
motor end shield. There is a clamping lug ① for the ground conductor at the designated
connection point. This is suitable for connecting multi-conductor cables with cable lugs or
ribbon cables with the appropriate conductor terminations.

When connecting up, ensure that
• the connecting surface is bare and is protected against corrosion using a suitable substance,
e.g. acid-free Vaseline
• the 󹪞at and spring washers are located under the screw head
• the minimum necessary screw-in depth and the tightening torque for the clamping screw
must be maintained
