7.3  Notes on EMC optimization 
Make sure to separate high-interference cables from equipment susceptible to 
interference. 
•  Cable causing interference: Motor cables, especially motors used with VSDs, 
energy cables. 
•  Cables susceptible to interference: Control cables, low-voltage cables, 
interface cables, LAN cables, digital and analog signal cables. 
•  You can run both types of cable in the same duct, but in different 
compartments. 
•  If ducting with 3 closed sides and a partition is not available, separate the 
interference-emitting cables from other cables by a minimum of 150 mm, or 
route in separate ducting. 
•  Cross high-interference cables with equipment susceptible to interference only 
at right angles. 
•  If, in exceptional cases, signal and interference-emitting power cables are run 
in parallel, the risk of interference is high. In that case, limit the cable length of 
the DC 0...10 V positioning signal line for modulating actuators.
