Apply the Motor Power/brake Shield Clamp
The power/brake cable shield attaches to the drive cable clamp. A clamp spacer
is included with the connector set included with the drive, for cable diameters
that are too small for a tight fit within the drive clamp alone.
Follow these steps to apply the motor power/brake shield clamp.
1. Position the motor power cable shield within the shield clamp.
If the cable is too small in diameter to fit tight in the standard shield
clamp, add the clamp spacer.
Skip to step 4
for frame 3 drives with large cable diameters.
2. Make sure the cable clamp tightens around the cable shield and provides
a high-frequency bond between the cable shield and the drive chassis.
3. Tighten each screw, a few turns at a time, until the maximum torque
value of 2 N•m (17.7 lb•in) is achieved.
4. For frame 3 drives only, if the cable is too large to fit within the standard
shield clamp, substitute the standard clamp for the frame 3 clamping
plate.
5. Apply two tie-wraps around the cable shield and clamping plate (see
Figure 48
on page 88 for example) to provide a high-frequency bond
between the cable shield and the drive chassis.
Refer to Figure 48
on page 88 for a cable-clamp attachment illustration.
SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid hazard of electrical shock, make sure shielded power
cables are grounded according to recommendations.
IMPORTANT Loosen the screw, if needed, until you can start threading both clamp
screws with the cable shield under the clamp.
IMPORTANT If the power/brake cable shield has a loose fit inside the shield clamp,
insert the clamp spacer between the shield clamp and the drive to
reduce the clamp diameter. When the clamp screws are tight, 2.0 N•m
(17.7 lb•in), the result must be a high-frequency bond between the cable
shield and the drive chassis.
If the frame 3 cable is too large to fit within the standard shield clamp,
substitute the standard clamp for the frame 3 clamping plate. Apply two
tie-wraps around the cable shield and plate to provide a high-frequency
bond between the cable shield and the drive chassis.
