EMC-compliant installation

  • Shield all cables except for the power supply cable. For the motor cable, you can use the HD.. option (output choke) instead of the shielding to meet the interference emission limit values.
  • When using shielded motor cables, e.g. prefabricated motor cables from SEW-­EURODRIVE, you must keep the unshielded conductors between the shield and connection terminal of the inverter as short as possible.
  • Connect the shield by the shortest possible route and make sure it is grounded over a wide area at both ends. If using double-shielded cables, ground the outer shield on the inverter end and the inner shield at the other end.
  • You can also use grounded sheet-metal ducts or metal pipes to shield the cables. Install the power and control cables separately.
  • Provide high frequency compatible grounding for the inverter and all additional units (wide area metal-on-metal contact between the unit housing and ground, e.g. ­unpainted control cabinet mounting panel).

INFORMATION

  • MOVITRAC® B is a product that can cause electromagnetic interference according to EN 61800‑3. In this case, it is recommended for the operator to take suitable measures.
  • For detailed information on EMC-compliant installation, refer to the publication "Drive Engineering – Practical Implementation: EMC in Drive Engineering" from SEW-EURODRIVE.
