5vacon • 42 Power cabling5.2 Brake resistor cablesVacon 100 AC drives are equipped with terminals for an optional external brake resistor. Theseterminals are marked with R+ and R- (MR4-MR6) or DC+/R+ and R- (MR7 and bigger). The re-commended sizes for the brake resistor cables are listed in tables on page 38 to 40.See brake resistor ratings on page 81.5.3 Cable installation• Before starting, check that none of the components of the AC drive is live. Read care-fully the warnings in Chapter 2.• Place the motor cables sufficiently far from other cables• Avoid placing the motor cables in long parallel lines with other cables.• If the motor cables run in parallel with other cables note the minimum distancesbetween the motor cables and other cables given in table below.• The given distances also apply between the motor cables and signal cables of other sys-tems.• The maximum lengths of motor cables (shielded) are 100 m (MR4), 150 m (MR5 andMR6) and 200 m (MR7 to MR9).• The motor cables should cross other cables at an angle of 90 degrees.• If cable insulation checks are needed, see chapter Cable and motor insulation checks.Start the cable installation according to the instructions below:If you use a multi-conductor cable, NOTE that one of the conductors of the brakeresistor cable remains unconnected! Cut off the remaining conductor in order toavoid contact with a conducting component.Please notice, in MR7-9 drives, only drives with +DBIN in the type code has thebrake chopper option installed for dynamic braking. MR4-6 always has brakechopper for dynamic braking as standard.NOTE! Dynamic braking and brake resistor is not supported in Vacon 100 FLOW.Distance betweencables, [m]Shieldedcable, [m]0.3 ≤ 501.0 ≤ 2009000.emf13006.emfPhone: 800.894.0412 - Fax: 888.723.4773 - Web: www.clrwtr.com - Email: info@clrwtr.com
