5.2 EMC-compliant Installation
To obtain an EMC-compliant installation, refer to the wiring schematics and follow the instructions provided for:
•
Connecting the motor.
•
Connecting the AC mains.
•
Connecting to ground.
•
Control wiring.
Also, remember to practice the following:
•
When using relays, control cables, a signal interface, fieldbus, or brake, connect the shield to the enclosure at both ends. If the
ground path has high impedance, is noisy, or is carrying current, break the shield connection on 1 end to avoid ground current
loops.
•
Convey the currents back to the unit using a metal mounting plate. Ensure good electrical contact from the mounting plate
through the mounting screws to the drive chassis.
•
Use shielded cables for motor output cables. An alternative is unshielded motor cables within metal conduit.
•
Ensure that motor and brake cables are as short as possible to reduce the interference level from the entire system.
•
Avoid placing cables with a sensitive signal level alongside motor and brake cables.
•
For communication and command/control lines, follow the particular communication protocol standards. For example, USB must
use shielded cables, but RS485/ethernet can use shielded UTP or unshielded UTP cables.
•
Ensure that all control terminal connections are PELV.
NOTICE
TWISTED SHIELD ENDS (PIGTAILS)
Twisted shield ends increase the shield impedance at higher frequencies, which reduces the shield effect and increases the
leakage current.
-
Use integrated shield clamps instead of twisted shield ends.
NOTICE
SHIELDED CABLES
If shielded cables or metal conduits are not used, the unit and the installation do not meet regulatory limits on radio frequency
(RF) emission levels.
NOTICE
EMC INTERFERENCE
Failure to isolate power, motor, and control cables can result in unintended behavior or reduced performance.
-
Use shielded cables for motor and control wiring.
-
Use separate cables for mains input, motor, and control wiring.
-
Provide a minimum 200 mm (7.9 in) separation between mains input cables, motor cables, and control cables.
