Issue:
Is shielded or non-shielded cable recommended for longer motor leads?
Product Line:
Altivar drives
Environment:
All model numbers
Cause:
N/A
Resolution:
A shielded cable will have more stray capacitance to ground as compared to a non-shielded cable.
So the longer the shielded cable the more leakage current that can occur to ground.
This leakage current can cause nuisance ground detection faults.
