About this manual

The document specifies the power‑cable requirements for the ACS 6000AD system. It is divided into three chapters covering cables for ARU/INU modules, 12‑phase LSU modules, and BCU modules, with general requirements, installation guidelines, shielding, and selection criteria.

Key technical points include rated voltage, insulation levels, maximum cable length, permissible parallel cables, shielding, and derating factors for different operating modes. Installation recommendations such as the use of ROX entry systems and grounding practices are also detailed.
