General Information about Wiring

Overview

Use only Schneider Electric approved devices in your application, and especially Schneider Electric pre-fabricated cables, wherever and whenever possible.

Observe and implement the following points when wiring:

1.Observe the minimum cross-sections of the cables necessary for the load carrying capacity of the equipment being connected.

2.Verify the integrity of cable shields to ensure continuity to ground.

3.Ensure that there is a proper, equipotential connection to ground for all interconnected equipment.

4.Eliminate any ground loops.

5.Do not disconnect cable connection terminals when under power.

6.Ensure that all ground connections have sufficient surface area continuity.

If, for example, two parallel conductors are shown as coming from one point, you may not run just one conductor and then branch it off at a later point. If it is wired this way, induction loops (interference emitters and antennas) as well as interfering potential shifts may occur.
