Conduit

Where conduits must be coupled together, bridge the joint with a ground conductor
bonded to the conduit on each side of the joint. Bond the conduits also to the drive
enclosure. Use separate conduits for input power, motor, brake resistors, and control
wiring. When conduit is employed, type MC continuous corrugated aluminum armor
cable or shielded cable is not required. A dedicated ground cable is always required.
Do not run motor wiring from more than one drive in the same conduit.

Armored cable / shielded power cable

The motor cables can be run in the same cable tray as other 460 V or 600 V power
wiring. Control and signal cables must not be run in the same tray as power cables.
Six conductor (3 phases and 3 ground) type MC continuous corrugated aluminum
armor cable with symmetrical grounds is available from the following suppliers (trade
names in parentheses):
• Anixter Wire & Cable (Philsheath)
• BICC General Corp (Philsheath)
• Rockbestos Co. (Gardex)
• Oaknite (CLX).
Shielded power cables are available from Belden, LAPPKABEL (ÖLFLEX) and
