Chapter 1 Installation/Wiring
• Maximum motor cable length must not exceed the maximum length
indicated in PowerFlex 520-Series RF Emission Compliance and
Installation Requirements on page 52 for compliance with radio frequency
emission limits for the specific standard and installation environment.
Connections and Grounding
(1) Some installations require a shielded enclosure. Keep wire length as short as possible between the enclosure entry point and the
EMI filter.
Additional Installation Requirements
This section provides information on additional requirements for Class C1 and
C2 installation, such as enclosures and EMC cores.
