Current-carrying capacity for power and signal cables
The current-carrying capacity of PVC/PUR-insulated copper cables is specied for routing types
B1, B2 and C under continuous operating conditions in the table with reference to an ambient
air temperature of 40° C. For other ambient temperatures, the values must be corrected by the
factors from the "Derating factors" table.

8.3.1.2 Rotating the connector on the motor
You can rotate power connectors and signal connectors within a limited range of angles.
Use a suitable socket connector to rotate the angle plug.
Unscrew and open the socket connector completely to avoid damaging the pin contacts.
Note
Rotating the connectors
• Do not exceed the permissible range of rotation.
• To ensure the degree of protection, do not rotate more than 10 times.
