3.3.4 Wiring and EMC guidelines. 
 
For effective interference suppression, do not route power and control cables in the same 
conduit or trunking.  
To prevent radiated noise, motor cable should be put in a metal conduit. Alternatively an 
armored or shielded type motor cable should be used.  
For effective suppression of noise emissions the cable armor or shield must be grounded at 
both ends to the motor and the inverter ground. These connections should be as short as 
possible. 
Motor cable and signal lines of other control equipment should be at the least 30 cm apart.  
 
L510s has a built in Class “A” EMC filter to first Environment Restricted. (Category C2). 
For some installations such as residential,(Category C1) an optional external Class “B” type 
filter will be necessary. Please consult your local supplier.

1.Protective Earth Conductor. 
Conductor size for enclosure & 
Backplate must comply with the local electrical 
standards. Min 10mm². 
 
2.Backplate. Galvanised steel (Unpainted). 
 
3.Ferrite core / Output reactor 
 ferrite cores can be used to reduce 
 radiated noise due to long motor cables. 
If ferrite core is used loop motor wires, 3 times 
round the core. Install core as close to the 
inverter as possible 
 
Output reactors provide additional  
benefit of reducing dv/dt for protection of motor 
windings. 
 
4.Metal Cable clamp. no more than 150mm from 
the inverter. 
Note: If no enclosure & backplate  is used then 
connect the cable shield by a good 360 º  
termination to the Inverter output terminal E.  
 
5.Screened (Shielded four core cable). 
 
6.Separate Protective Earth wire, routed outside 
motor cable separated be at least 100mm.  
Note:- this is the preferred method specially 
for large output cables and long length. 
Multi-core screened (3 core &  protective 
earth) can be used for small power and short 
length. 
 
7.Connect the cable shield by a good 
360º termination and connect to the motor 
protective earth terminal. 
This link must be as short as possible. 
 
8.Motor Earth terminal(Protective Earth).
