Cable Routing Requirements
- Stay away from the equipment when preparing cables to prevent cable scraps from entering the equipment. Cable scraps may cause sparks and result in personal injury and equipment damage.
- After installing cables, clean the cabinet top, bottom, rear, copper bar wiring positions, and other positions. Ensure that there is no dust or scraps inside and around the cabinet.
- Prepare terminals onsite. The length of the copper wire should be the same as that of the part of the terminal that covers the conductor.
- Route a cable into the cabinet.
- Pull the cable to the copper bar to which the cable is to be connected, determine the cable length, and mark the cable at the position where the cable is to be cut.
- Pull the marked cable out of the cabinet, cut the cable from the marked position, strip the cable, and crimp a terminal.Figure 5-36 Preparing a cable terminal outside the cabinet

- Connect the cable with a crimped terminal to the corresponding copper bar.

- Clear sundries inside the cabinet.
