• Avoid placing the motor cables in long parallel lines with other cables.
• If the motor cables run in parallel with other cables note the minimum distances between
the motor cables and other cables given in table below.
• The given distances also apply between the motor cables and signal cables of other systems.
•The maximum lengths of motor cables (shielded) are 100 m (MM4) and 150 m (MM5 and
MM6).
• The motor cables should cross other cables at an angle of 90 degrees.
• If cable insulation checks are needed, see chapter Cable and motor insulation checks.
