Motor Power/Brake Cable Preparation
Power cable preparation on existing 16 and 14 AWG cables is sufficient to reuse
on Kinetix 5500 frame 1 and 2 drives, except for the brake conductors, which are
much longer than required.
However, for frame 3 drives with 14 or 10 AWG cables, the overall length of the
cable preparation area needs to be increased for the motor power conductors to
reach the MP connector and also provide a proper service loop.
Follow these steps to prepare your existing brake conductors and 14 or 10 AWG
power cable.
1. Remove a total of 325 mm (12.8 in.) of cable jacket from your existing
cable.
This exposes additional cable shield.
2. Remove all but 63.5 mm (2.5 in.) of the shield.
3. Cover 12.5 mm (0.5 in.) of the shield ends and an equal length of the
conductors with 25 mm (1.0 in.) of electrical tape or heat shrink.
Do the same on the other side of the cable shield. This keeps the shield
ends from fraying and holds the conductors together.
4. Cut the brake conductors back to 163 mm (6.4 in.) and trim the shield
braid at the base of the jacket.
The shield braid covering the brake conductors is not needed.
5. Remove the specified length of insulation from the end of each wire.
This example applies to existing 2090-Series cables and 2090-Series single motor
cables. If you are using a 2090-CSBM1DF-
xxAAxx single motor cable, you can
remove the shield braid covering the brake conductors.
