3.8.2  Power cables for motors 
The motor power cables are connected at interfaces X2 to X5. The single cores of the cable 
are labeled with U, V, W and PE. The cables are connected corresponding to the terminal 
labels at the S120 Combi. 
When using a power cable with connection cables for the motor holding brake, the cores for 
the motor holding brake are connected at interface X11 (see the diagram below). In this 
case, connect the cable shield of all cable cores. Fix the cable shield using the shield clamp. 
When using a separate cable for the motor holding brake, the cable shield should be 
connected to a shield support of a motor power cable that is free. If there is no longer a free 
shield support, connect the cable shield of the brake cable to the connection at the outer 
right together with the cable shield of the motor power cable.

NOTICE 
 
The shield clamp does not provide strain relief. Strain relief for the power cable must be 
separately realized using a suitable measure.
