Recommendations
Use the following cable and spacing recommendations for all drives sizes:
Example:
Spacing relationship between 480V AC incoming power leads and 24V DC logic
leads:
•
480V AC leads are Class 2; 24V DC leads are Class 6
•
For separate steel conduits, the conduits must be 3 inches (76 mm) apart
•
In a cable tray, the two groups of leads are to be 6 inches (152 mm) apart
