10.3 SERVOPACK Main Circuit Wire Size
Cable Types
• Wire sizes are selected for three cables per bundle at 40
°C (104 °F) surrounding air tem-
perature with the rated current.
• Use cable with a minimum withstand voltage of 600 V for main circuits.
• If cables are bundled in PVC or metal ducts, consider the reduction ratio of the allowable
current.
• Use heat-resistant cables under high surrounding air or panel temperatures where normal
vinyl cables will rapidly deteriorate.
• Use cables within the allowable moment of inertia.
• Do not use cables under continuous regenerative state.
The following table shows the wire size and allowable current for three cables. Use a cable
whose specifications meet or are less than the values in the table.
• 600-V Heat-resistant Vinyl Cables (HIV)
Note: The values in the table are only for reference.
