Armored cable / shielded power cable
Six conductor (3 phases and 3 ground) type MC continuous corrugated aluminum
armor cable with symmetrical grounds is available from the following suppliers (trade
names in parentheses):
• Anixter Wire & Cable (Philsheath)
• BICC General Corp (Philsheath)
• Rockbestos Co. (Gardex)
• Oaknite (CLX).
Shielded power cables are available from Belden, LAPPKABEL (ÖLFLEX) and Pirelli.
Selecting the control cables
Shielding
All control cables must be shielded.
Use a double-shielded twisted pair cable for analog signals. This type of cable is
recommended for the pulse encoder signals also. Employ one individually shielded
pair for each signal. Do not use common return for different analog signals.
A double-shielded cable (figure a below) is the best alternative for low-voltage digital
signals but single-shielded (b) twisted pair cable is also acceptable.
Signals in separate cables
Run analog and digital signals in separate, shielded cables.
Never mix 24 V DC and 115/230 V AC signals in the same cable.
Signals allowed to be run in the same cable
Relay-controlled signals, providing their voltage does not exceed 48 V, can be run in
the same cables as digital input signals. The relay-controlled signals should be run as
twisted pairs.
Relay cable type
The cable type with braided metallic screen (for example ÖLFLEX by LAPPKABEL,
Germany) has been tested and approved by ABB.
