Router has died. Need Advise Please.

Bear in mind that ABB's recommendations for cable size are probably trying to cover themselves for most applications, whereas our application is quite specific. For the motor in question, the cables are quite short and the motor will spend most of its life operating well below the rated power. I therefore wouldn't be concerned with recommending 1mm^2 cable in this instance.

Before anyone jumps on the well known idea about connecting screens at one end only I suggest you do a search for EMC cable screening first.

Jonathan, I fully understand what you are saying but it's a bit like the DIY person who installs a new 13amp socket outlet using a bit of 3 core flex because he only wants to plug a table lamp into it. They sell the house and next owner plugs a 3 bar electric fire into it.
