Ground the Shielded Signal Wires within a Power Cable
Always ground the shield on any signal wires inside a power cable. Connecting this
shield to chassis ground reduces the potential for voltage inductance and EMI.
Follow these steps to ground the shield wire on a 2090-CPBM7DF-xxAFxx or
2090-XXNPMF-xxSxx power cable.
1. Loop the signal wire pair to the overall cable shield as shown in the
diagram.
• Cable 2090-CPBM7DF-xxAFxx (shown) contains one signal wire pair.
• Cable 2090-XXNPMF-xxSxx contains two signal wire pairs.
2. Clamp all signal wire shields and the overall power-cable shield in the
power cable (chassis) ground clamp on the drive.
Grounding of Signal Wire Shields in a Power Cable
SHOCK HAZARD
If any shield on a power cable is not grounded, high voltage can be present on that
shield.
Make sure there is a connection to ground for all shield wires inside a power cable, and
for the overall power cable shield.
Failure to observe safety precautions could result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
