Control Panel Technical Design Guide (EMC Protection and Panel
Proper wire management (see section 4) should give you enough space to accommodate sensitive wires. If there''s a more than 0% chance the panel will change or add functions someday,
* Spacing between wired devices and wireway or other obstructions: 2′′ minimum; 2 1/2 – 3′′ preferred for 120VAC and less. * Minimize the use of cable/wire ties if. * Wiring across a hinged door or panel. U loop, as long as possible, facing down anchored on each side of the hinge with screws or bolts (no adhesive). 5 feet (≈ 2 meter) high in front of the panel. The panelboard's door (hinged cover) shall be able to be opened to a full 90°. Moreover, separate routing of disturbing and sensitive cables ensures minimum coupling. A metal raceway ensures equipotential bonding of the panels and efficient conduction of LF and HF. Stick these eight guidelines as virtual Post-It notes in your mind whe...
