6.5.6 EMC-compliant Cables
To optimize EMC immunity of the control cables and emission from the motor cables, use braided shielded/armored cables.
The ability of a cable to reduce the in- and outgoing radiation of electric noise depends on the transfer impedance (Z
T
). The shield of
a cable is normally designed to reduce the transfer of electric noise. However, a shield with a lower transfer impedance (Z
T
) value is
more effective than a shield with a higher transfer impedance (Z
T
).
Cable manufacturers rarely state the transfer impedance (Z
T
), but it is often possible to estimate transfer impedance (Z
T
) by assess-
ing the physical design of the cable.
Transfer impedance (Z
T
) can be assessed based on the following factors:
The conductibility of the shield material.
The contact resistance between the individual shield conductors.
The shield coverage, that is, the physical area of the cable covered by the shield - often stated as a percentage value.
Shield type (braided or twisted).
