Additional US requirements

Type MC continuous corrugated aluminium armor cable with symmetrical grounds or
shielded power cable must be used for the motor cables if metallic conduit is not
used. For the North American market, 600 V AC cable is accepted for up to
500 V AC. 1000 V AC cable is required above 500 V AC (below 600 V AC). For
drives rated over 100 amperes, the power cables must be rated for 75

Conduit

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