Earthing?

Robin,
I take it these "battles" have been going on for a while:)

I meant running a 4 core cable from motor to driver in one go, without connectors (XLR or similar) on the panel - less work soldering pins. At the motor side, just cut the 8 cables and solder/insulate accordingly to the 4 core cable.

Not that I've ever experienced any problems with connectors, but I am just thinking that once all is in place, I won't be moving the box anywhere, so using XLR or GX16 connectors is not going to be necessary, though I suppose it looks a touch more professional, if one is bothered about that.
If for whatever reason I need to disconnect a motor or something in the future, it's not a big deal to do it from the drive own connector.
