13.4 Cable installation
Mount the cable exit in the “down” or lower hemisphere region to promote drainage after wash-
down.
Create a drip loop so that any liquids or chemicals that spray or splash on to the cable will
travel down to the loop and drip off instead of running down the cable directly on to the motor
strain relief bushing.
The cable bushing could come loose or allow for contamination to get inside the
motor, if no strain relief on the cable is used. This could lead to unexpected
behavior of the motor and electrocution hazard due to failure of electrical ter-
minations.
13.4.1 Standard cabling
Standard cable is usable in all applications except food grade applications.
Observe the minimum bending radius for the cable (150/165 mm, (
# 41)).
Compatibility of the cable to cleaning solutions used in the application should be evaluated
before subjecting the cable to long-term exposure to chemicals. Using the motor in food-
grade applications requires the tube option for the cable.
13.4.2 Tube cabling
Silicone tubing protects the cable and electrical interfaces on these motors from exposure to
cleaning solutions and avoids emissions from the motor cable.
Observe the minimum bending radius for the cable in tube (150/165 mm, (
Exposure of the silicone tubing to strong mineral acids should be avoided. Compatibility of
the silicone tubing with cleaning solutions used in the application should be evaluated before
subjecting the silicone tubing to long-term exposure to chemicals. Avoid exposure of the sil-
icone tubing with strong mechanical stress. After installation and at regular intervals check
the tube for cracks or cuts.
