Cable Types; Cable Entries - ABB ACS800-04 Hardware Manual

Cable types

Cable sizing is based on NEC Table 310-16 for copper wires, 75 °C (167 °F) wire insulation at 40 °C
(104 °F) ambient temperature. Not more than three current-carrying conductors in raceway or cable or
earth (directly buried). For other conditions, dimension the cables according to local safety regulations,
appropriate input voltage and the load current of the drive.
