The Screened SUBCAB is a cable developed for submersible applications, used primarily for
VFD applications.
The cable has a concentric screen around each power core (no green/yellow earth ground
core), the screen works both as earth ground core and as EMC screen.
The control element is also screened with a copper coated foil and drain wire
The use of the screen as an earth (ground) core is in accordance with IEC 60364, HD 384 and
Xylem Flygt standard A3216.01.
Guideline.docx
2. Untwist the screen around each main core, and then remove the Al-foil around each
power core.
3. Let a longer piece of each screen remain twisted, each screen should be at least 10cm
longer then the power cores, due to PE ground core regulation.
4. Twist all three power cores screens together to create an earth (ground) core use a cable
terminal at the end.
5. Put a yellow/green shrink hose over the earth (ground) core. Leave a short piece
uncovered nearest to the unpeeled cable, see Figure 1.
6. If the connection to earth (ground) is made by a screw, fit a cable lug to the earth
(ground) core. If the connection is made by a terminal block, leave the core end as it is.
Make sure that the earth (ground) core is longer (at least 10%) than the phase cores. For
the correct length, see the Installation, Operation and Maintenance manual for the
pump.
7. The control element must also be peeled, keep the element as long as possible unpeeled
until it reaches the control terminals (to keep the screen as long as possible). Remove the
jacket and the copper foil. Put a white shrink hose over the open drain wire (cable lug),
twist T1+T2 and T3+T4 and connect to the terminals.

EMC Gland
It is very important to obtain a good ground system to avoid interference/emission from the
VFD to the surrounding electrical system. A well grounding system also reduces the risk of
functional disruption and damage to the equipment caused by lightning.
Connect the Screened SUBCAB with incoming EMC gland/conduit entry, if the VFD have metal
flange joint. Otherwise use short pig tales for the ground PE earth screen. Connect control cores
T1+T2 and T3+T4 twisted together to the terminal of the VFD, the drain wire to signal ground
(potential compensation terminal). Separate the control cores from the power cores as much as
possible.
Try to use special EMC glands, for the outgoing cable to the pump. Those glands assure 360
grounding around the screen and control screen, the EMC glands reduce the interference
emission from the VFD via the cable. See to that cabinet inlet plate is well grounded (without
paint and rubber gasket, use EMC copper bonded gasket if so).
Toroid Cores
Install toroid cores so they cover the three motor phase cores, but not PE-core.

No. Description
Connect each main core screen to the mounting plate by an EMC gland

(grounding). Make the connection directly after the cable inlet.
Follow the instruction for twisting the control element cores, see How to peel and
2
prepare the cable on page 1.
3
Use a screened cable between the VFD filter and the terminal block.
If possible, exchange the rubber seal on the cabinet door to a conductive seal to

make a good EMC connection between the door and the cabinet.

Optional, place a toroid core around the three power cores. [Part no. 83 95 06-07]

Description
Connect the core including screen with a cable clamp to the mounting plate to
get a good EMC grounding. See to scratch of the paint on the plate so the screen
connection is good to PE..
Guideline.docx
The motor cable should be screened and grounded at both ends (Screened SUBCAB
where screen also acts as protected earth) to prevent undesired electrical interference
from the VFD (range between 1MHz and 10MHz).
Use EMC cable gland and assure that the screen is connected 360 in the gland or
connect the screen pigtail as short as possible in the panel.
Ensure that the control conductors are twisted together, and do not separate the
conductors when cable is peeled until reaching the connection point. If possible place
the control conductors in separate cable channel in the control panel to avoid coupling
to other interference sources.
If ground loops, current or magnetic disturbances occur in the cable screen open the
screen connection in the control panel and connect a capacitor in series between the
screen and ground (e.g. 0.5f, 1kV). The ground system must have one system ground,
where all ground connections should be connected from the control panel and various
control units. Avoid ground loops through gland plates and cable gland bonding and
ensure that there is no potential difference in the ground system.
Control cables must be segregated from all mains cables by at least 30 cm by use of separate
metal conduits / cable trays grounded.
Control cables must be segregated from all motor cables by at least 50 cm by use of separate
metal conduits / cable trays grounded.
Control cables should not cross power cables unless absolutely necessary and then only at 90
degree angles.
