pratice to conform to the following guidelines - this will reduce the likelihood of problems
during operation.
Actions to take
Ensure that all equipment in the cubicle is well grounded using short, thick grounding
cable connected to a common star point or busbar.
Make sure that any control equipment (such as a PLC) connected to the inverter is
connected to the same ground or star point as the inverter using a short thick link.
Connect the return ground from the motors controlled by the inverters directly to the
ground connection (PE) on the associated inverter.
Flat conductors are preferred as they have lower impedance at higher frequencies.
Terminate the ends of the cable neatly, ensuring that unscreened wires are as short as
possible.
Separate the control cables from the power cables as much as possible, using separate
trunking, if the cables cross they should cross at 90º to each other.
Whenever possible, use screened leads for the connections to the control circuitry.
Ensure that the contactors in the cubicle are suppressed, either with R-C suppressors for
AC contactors or 'flywheel' diodes for DC contactors fitted to the coils. Varistor
suppressors are also effective. This is important when the contactors are controlled from
the inverter relay.
Use screened or armored cables for the motor connections and ground the screen at
both ends using the cable clamps.
Warning
Safety regulations must not be compromised when installing inverters!
Screening methods
For all frame sizes the Screen Termination Kit is supplied as an optional extra. It allows easy
and efficient connection of the necessary screening. For further details on the Screen
Termination Kit, please refer to the SINAMICS G120 catalog.
