Proper termination requires the cable to be terminated at both the drive end at the motor end of the cable.
Vfd cable termination kits.
Non armored vfd cable termination kits components of a termination kit are available through various distributors.
Used to properly terminate the helically applied copper tape shield of vfd cable constructions.
Southwire s variable frequency drive shield.
These shields may be terminated with either a cable gland or if used in conduit a termination kit.
Using termination kits.
1 conductive copper foil adhesive tape 2 a constant force spring 3 copper braid grounding strip s non armored vfd cable termination instructions.
The termination kit provides a low impedance path at high frequency for common mode current created by the drive to return to the inverter via the shield and minimizes potential problems.
As the original developer of high quality vfd cable belden knows how to deliver superior electrical performance and reliability even in the most demanding industrial environments.
Both ends of the vfd cable need to be terminated in order to allow the high frequency common mode current to flow back through the shield to the drive 1.
Both methods are described below.
