Power connection of motor and brake

• SEW‑EURODRIVE recommends using shielded motor and brake cables. When using unshielded motor cables, SEW-EURODRIVE recommends using output filters HF.. or output chokes HD..
• Apply the braided shield of all cables over the entire circumference over a large area at both ends.
• For the shield connection, use the designated shield plates on the inverter side (if provided). In all other cases, use commercially available shield terminals for installing the shielding of motor and brake cables. Apply the shield as closely as possible to the inverter.
• If the motor cable and brake cable are combined in a shared cable, the cable must have an inner shield separating the brake cables from the motor cores. The cables also possess an overall shield. If the brake cable is routed separately, SEW-EURODRIVE recommends using a shielded brake cable.
• SEW-EURODRIVE recommends using prefabricated cables.
• In the event of exceptionally high EMC requirements, an additional connection point for the shield is recommended. To limit the emitted interference, the motor shield can additionally be grounded to the control cabinet outlet using commercial installation materials (grounding clamps or EMC screw fittings).
