Planning the electrical installation
62
Note 9: Sine filters protect the motor insulation system. Therefore, du/dt filter can be replaced with a
sine filter. The peak phase-to-phase voltage with the sine filter is approximately 1.5 · U
N
.
Note 10: Common mode filter is available as a plus code option (+E208) or as a separate kit (one box
including three rings for one cable).
Selecting the power cables
General rules
Dimension the input power and motor cables according to local regulations:
• Dimension the cable to carry the drive load current. See chapter Technical data
for the rated currents.
• Select a cable rated for at least 70
°C maximum permissible temperature of
conductor in continuous use. For US, see Additional US requirements, page 65.
• The inductance and impedance of the PE conductor/cable (grounding wire) must
be rated according to permissible touch voltage appearing under fault conditions
(so that the fault point voltage will not rise excessively when a ground fault
occurs).
• 600 V AC cable is accepted for up to 500 V AC
Use symmetrical shielded motor cable, see page 65. Ground the shield(s) of motor
cable(s) 360° at both ends.
Note: When continuous metal conduit is employed, shielded cable is not required.
The conduit must have bonding at both ends as with cable shield.
