Cable Considerations
Power Cable Types Acceptable for 200…600 Volt Installations
A variety of cable types are acceptable for drive installations. For an in depth discussion of cable types, including a table of
maximum motor cable lengths, refer to the Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC
Drives, publication DRIVES-IN001.

(1) Control and signal wires should be separated from power wires by at least 0.3 meters (1 foot).
(2) The use of shielded wire for AC input power may not be necessary but is always recommended.
Standard – • Four tinned copper conductors with XLPE insulation.
• Copper braid/aluminum foil combination shield and tinned
copper drain wire.

(3) If the wires are short and contained within a cabinet which has no sensitive circuits, the use of shielded wire may not be necessary, but is always recommended.
(4) I/O terminals labeled “(–)” or “Common” are not referenced to earth ground and are designed to greatly reduce common mode interference. Grounding these terminals can cause signal noise. For
CE installations, 115V I/O must use shielded cable or have a cable length less than 30 m (98 ft).
