Separate control cable ducts

Lead 24 V and 230 V (120 V) control cables in separate ducts unless the 24 V cable is
insulated for 230 V (120 V) or insulated with an insulation sleeving for 230 V (120 V).

Continuous motor cable shield or enclosure for equipment on the motor cable

To minimize the emission level when safety switches, contactors, connection boxes or
similar equipment are installed on the motor cable between the drive and the motor:
European Union: Install the equipment in a metal enclosure with 360 degree grounding
for the shields of both the incoming and outgoing cable, or connect the shields of the
cables otherwise together.
US: Install the equipment in a metal enclosure in a way that the conduit or motor cable
shielding runs consistently without breaks from the drive to the motor.

Implementing thermal overload and short-circuit protection

Protecting a drive and input power cable in short-circuits

The drive is equipped with internal AC fuses as standard. Protect the input cable with fuses
or a suitable circuit breaker.
The fuses will protect the input cable in short-circuit situations, restrict drive damage and
prevent damage to adjoining equipment in case of a short-circuit inside the drive.
