Power Connections between Enclosures
(

)

• The power cables between the enclosures housing of the inverter, the

DBU and the brake resistor shall be 3-wire shielded cable (+, -, and
earth conductor green/yellow) or run in a separate steel conduit.

• Between each enclosure and the protective earth (PE) of the line

input, an uninterrupted connection (green/yellow conductors) must
be provided to ensure correct grounding of the equipment.

• The braid of shielded cables must be connected to the enclosures by

the use of suitable EMC type cable glands.

Figure B.1 Specification for shielded cable

Cable Glands

• Use suitable EMC-tested cable glands only.
• The conductivity of the shield to earth connection is ensured by

laying the braid over a plastic cone which will press it to the inner
side of the gland when mounted.

• It is important that the connection area is 360 degree around the

cone.

• The cable glands provide pull-relief through the cable jacket.
