Different lead versions
Cable and connector production >> Different lead versions
Shorter leads
Shorter leads/lines generate the lowest interference sources, ground loop currents, signal reflexion, power dissipation and also the smallest amount of wiring required. Even in small quantities and without connector, the cutting to length of the standard lead length constitutes no great additional expense. At greater quantities, this barely costs any more than the standard version even incl. connector.
Longer leads
Longer leads are used when the control cannot be installed close to the motor for reasons of space, an additional connector system, and related additional sources of error, ought to be avoided and the installation and component expense should be reduced. Longer cables are mostly delivered with heat shrink sleeving that is often also equipped with cable ties. In small quantities, the leads are extended by solder joints and insulated with UL approved heat shrink sleeving. In larger quantities, a lead extension makes no difference in price to a standard motor.
Other cable cross section
Smaller or larger cable cross sections or thinner or thicker highly flexible E-Cu connection leads are used if the customer prefers a standardized connector system and the connectors are not available in the standard lead thickness (AWG). In addition to the customary single-core leads from 0.08 mm² - 4 mm² (VDE, UL/CSA), highly temperature resistant leads as well as multi-core cables (shielded and unshielded) with corresponding hoses are also optionally offered.
Lead color variations
Compared to the standard colors, variations in lead colors are used in preference if the motor supplier is changed or standardized color coding in order to carry out easy motor replacement.
