Alternative power cable types
Power cable types that can be used with the drive are represented below.
The following power cable type is not allowed.
Symmetrical shielded cable with individual shields for each phase conductor
is not allowed on any cable size for input and motor cabling.
Symmetrical shielded cable: three phase
conductors and a concentric or otherwise
symmetrically constructed PE conductor, and a
shield

A separate PE conductor is required if the
conductivity of the cable shield is < 50%
of the conductivity of the phase
conductor.
