Wiring Requirements
for the Drive
Wire size should be determined based on the size of conduit
openings, and applicable local, national, and international codes,
such as NEC/CEC. Evaluate wire sizes, branch circuit protection,
and E-stop wiring (see section 7.1) before continuing with the drive
installation.
4.1 Power Wiring
Cable Types Acceptable for 200-600 Volt Installations
A variety of cable types are acceptable for drive installations. For
many installations, unshielded cable is adequate, provided it can be
separated from sensitive circuits.
As an approximate guide, allow a spacing of 0.3 meters (1 foot) for
every 10 meters (32.8 feet) of length. In all cases, long parallel runs
must be avoided. Do not use cable with an insulation thickness less
than or equal to 15 mils (0.4 mm/0.015 in). See table 4.1.
!
ATTENTION: The user is responsible for conforming with all
applicable local, national, and international codes. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in damage to, or
destruction of, the equipment.
!
ATTENTION: National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE,
BSI, etc.) and local codes outline provisions for safely
installing electrical equipment. Installation must comply with
specifications regarding wire types, conductor sizes, branch
circuit protection and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
