For electromagnetic compatibility, you must use cables shown to be usable in EMC installations. Cables should have a minimum of 85% braid coverage, and be 360° bonded at both ends.
EMC Motor
For system CE compliance, you must use an
NOTE: Motors may bear the CE mark. This mark indicates the motor meets the requirements of construction and safety— not EMC compliance .
Motors with shielded cabling or pipe thread style cabling options allow the easiest integration into machines required to bear the CE mark for EMC.
