Forwarded for John --mg Group,
We are engaged in re-arranging our conformance lab and are looking to save space by permanently installing the 50m of cable used to connect our EUT (motor drive) to its load (a 3phase motor and load). I have a couple of questions: Is the capacity of the cable critical to the test or can we lay out the largest cable necessary (120mm2 screened) and use this regardless of the rating required for the load? The cable is planned to terminate in a patch panel at both ends so that links can be made to a variety of EUT and load rigs. How critical to the validity of the test is the position of the cable with respect to the ground plane. We plan to route the cable in the ceiling void on a cable tray which will be boded to ground.
