Pigtail Terminations
TL-Series motors have a short pigtail cable that connects to the motor, but is
not shielded. The preferred method for grounding the TL-Series power cable
on the motor side is to expose a section of the cable shield and clamp it directly
to the machine frame. The motor power cable also has a 150 mm (6.0 in.)
shield termination wire with a ring lug that connects to the closest earth
ground. Use this method in addition to the cable clamp. The termination wire
can be extended to the full length of the motor pigtail if necessary, but it is best
to connect the supplied wire directly to ground without lengthening.
