C - Motor
D - Metal conduit
E - Grounding wire
Figure 5.4 Wiring the Drive and Motor
Note:
• Use a braided shield cable for the drive and motor wiring or put the wires through a metal conduit.
• The maximum wiring length between the drive and motor is 10 m (32.8 ft.). Keep the cable between the drive and motor as
short as possible.
• Keep the grounding wire as short as possible.
4. Use a cable clamp to ground the motor cable to the metal plate.
Note:
Make sure that the protective ground wire complies with technical specifications and local safety standards.
