■ Alternative power cable typesRecommended power cable typesThis section presents the recommended cable types. Check with local / state / countryelectrical codes for allowance.Use as motor cablingUse as input power cablingCable typeYes.Yes.PESymmetrical shielded cable withthree phase conductors and a con-centric PE conductor as shield.Yes.Yes.PESymmetrical shielded cable withthree phase conductors and sym-metrically constructed PE conduct-or, and a shield.Yes. A separate PE conductor isrequired if the shield does not agreewith the PE conductor requirements.Yes. A separate PE conductor isrequired if the shield does not agreewith the PE conductor requirements.Note:If the shield size is smaller than10 mm2 Cu (or 16 mm2 Al), youneed two PE conductors typically,for example, the shield and a separ-ate conductor/cable. This is due tothe safety regulations related to theleakage current. See IEC/EN 61800-5-1, or the drive safety instructionsfor more information.PESymmetrical shielded cable withthree phase conductors and ashield, and a separate PE conduct-or/cableGuidelines for planning the electrical installation 83
