• Avoid sources of electrical interference that can induce noise into the

cable. Use the maximum practicable separation from such sources.

When planning cable routing within a building, follow these guidelines:

• Maintain a minimum separation of 3.3 ft (1 m) from the following

equipment:

— air conditioners and large blowers

— elevators and escalators

— radios and televisions

— intercom and security systems

— fluorescent, incandescent, and neon lighting fixtures.

• Maintain a minimum separation of 10 ft (3 m) from the following

equipment:

— power wiring

— transformers

— generators

—alternators

When wiring in electrical equipment rooms or large electrical equipment

line-ups, observe the following guidelines for cable segregation and

separation of circuits:

• Use metallic conduit for drive controller wiring. Do not run control

network and power wiring in the same conduit.

• Separate non-metallic conduits or cable trays used to carry power

wiring from metallic conduit carrying low-level control network wiring

by at least 12 in (305 mm).

• Separate metallic conduits carrying power wiring or low-level control

network wiring by at least 3 in (80 mm).

• Cross the metallic conduits and non-metallic conduits at right angles

whenever power and control network wiring cross.

• Attenuate conducted emissions from the drive controller to the line in

some installations to prevent interference with telecommunication,

radio, and sensitive electronic equipment. Such instances may require

attenuating filters. Consult the ATV58 catalog for selection and

application of these filters.
