Hardware Manual

70 Planning the electrical installation
1) The cable sizing is based on max. 9 cables laid on a cable ladder side by side, three ladder
type trays one on top of the other, ambient temperature 30 °C, PVC insulation, surface
temperature 70 °C (EN 60204-1 and IEC 60364-5-52/2001). For other conditions, size the
cables according to local safety regulations, appropriate input voltage and the load current
of the drive. See also page 189 for the accepted cable sizes of the drive.
2) The cable sizing is based on NEC Table 310-16 for copper wires, 75 °C (167 °F) wire
insulation at 40 °C (104 °F) ambient temperature. Not more than three current-carrying
conductors in raceway or cable or earth (directly buried). For other conditions, size the
cables according to local safety regulations, appropriate input voltage and the load current
of the drive. See also page 190 for the accepted cable sizes of the drive.
3) The biggest cable size accepted by the connection terminals of frame R8 is 2 × (3×150).
Biggest possible cable size is 3x240 or 400 MCM if the terminal type is changed and the
cable entry box is not used.
