■ Earthing/Grounding of shielded/armored
control cables
Generally speaking, control cables must be shielded/
armored and the shield must be connected by
means of a cable clamp at both ends to the
metal cabinet of the unit.
The drawing below indicates how correct
earthing/grounding is carried out.
Correct earthing/grounding
Control cables and cables for serial communication
must be fitted with cable clamps at both ends to
ensure the best possible electrical contact.
W
rong earthing/grounding
Do not use twisted cable ends (pigtails), since these
increase the shield impedance at high frequencies.
P
rotection with respect to ground potential
between PLC and AFD
If the ground potential between the AFD and the PLC
(etc.) is different, electric noise may occur that will
disturb the whole system. This problem can be solved
by fitting an equalizing cable, to be placed next to the
control cable. Minimum cable cross-section: 8 AWG.
F
or 50/60 Hz ground loops
If very long control cables are used, 50/60 Hz
ground loopsmay occur that will disturb the whole
system. This problem can be solved by connecting
one end of the shield to via a ground 100nF
capacitor (keeping leads short).
C
ables for serial communication
Low-frequency noise currents between two AFD can
be eliminated by connecting one end of the shield
to terminal 61. This terminal is connected to ground
via an internal RC link. It is recommended to use
twisted-pair cables to reduce the differential mode
interference between the conductors.
