Motor Power Cable Shield Termination
Factory supplied motor power cables for MP-Series and 1326AB/AS 
motors are shielded, and the braided cable shield must terminate at 
the drive during installation. A small portion of the cable jacket must 
be removed to expose the shield braid. The exposed area must be 
clamped (using the clamp provided) in front of the axis module, as 
shown in Figure 3.9, and the power wires terminated in the axis 
module terminal block.
Connecting MP-Series (Low Inertia) and 1326AB Motor Power
When using MP-Series (low inertia) or 1326AB (M2L/S2L) motors, only 
the three-phase motor power wires are included in power cable, as 
shown in the figure below. These motors have a separate connector 
on the motor for brake connections and thermal switch wires are 
included in the feedback cable.

ATTENTION
!
To avoid hazard of electrical shock, ensure shielded 
power cables are grounded at a minimum of one 
point for safety.
IMPORTANT
Cable clamps, designed to accommodate cables 1.5 
to 6 mm
2
 (16 to 10 AWG) in size, are shipped with 
each axis module. If your axis module (1394x-AM75) 
/motor combination requires 10 mm
2
 (8 AWG) cable, 
a larger cable clamp (catalog number 1394C-8AWG-
GCLAMP) is necessary to accommodate the larger 
diameter cable.
