Power cables for motors
12.7.2.1
Configuring the cable length
Where a longer motor cable is required, a higher rating Motor Module must be selected, or
the permissible continuous output current I
continuous
must be reduced in relation to the rated
output current I
rated
. The configuring data for booksize format Motor Modules are given in the
following table:

When using a motor holding brake, the maximum motor cable length is 100 m.
The permissible cable length for an unshielded motor cable is 150 % of the length for a
shielded motor cable.
Motor reactors can also be used on motors operating in vector and V/f control modes to
allow the use of longer motor cables.
