Power cables
The table below gives typical copper and aluminum cable types with concentric copper
shield for the drives with nominal current. The value separated by the plus sign means the
diameter of the PE conductor. See also section Terminal and entry data for the power
cables (page 172).

The cable sizing is based on max. 9 cables laid on a cable ladder side by side, three ladder type trays one
on top of the other, ambient temperature 30 °C (86 °F) PVC insulation, surface temperature 70 °C (158 °F)
(EN 60204-1 and IEC 60364-5-52). For other conditions, dimension the cables according to local safety
regulations, appropriate input voltage and the load current of the drive.
1)
The cable sizing is based on NEC Table 310-16 for copper wires, 75 °C (167 °F) wire insulation at 40 °C
(104 °F) ambient temperature. Not more than three current-carrying conductors in raceway or cable or earth
(directly buried). For other conditions, dimension the cables according to local safety regulations, appropriate
input voltage and the load current of the drive.
2)
Temperature: For IEC, select a cable rated for at least 70 °C maximum permissible temperature of conductor
in continuous use. For North America, power cables must be rated for 75 °C (167 °F) or higher.
Voltage: 600 V AC cable is accepted for up to 500 V AC.
