Inverter (VSDs) are great sources of noise and can cause all sorts of problems.
These problems can be reduced by the correct installation practices. I have a few suggestions and perhaps others can add to the list.

mount the drive as close as possible to the motor have the cable lenght in the supply cable and not the motor cable.
Should screen only one end of signal cables to prevent earth loops. |

And for our North American readers, "screened" means shielded. As of yet, this type of cable is not readily available in the US (although more available in Canada), but if you can find it, that is the best way to go. Look for "tech cable", which is actually a brand name but is being used now generically to describe 3 conductor shielded armored cable.
Anonymous, if you read Marke's post carefully, he meant terminate the earth core conductor at both ends. He had addressed the screen/shield connection by stating that it should be connected at the VFD, which implies only one end, but now that you restated it, that was good clarification. -------------------- "He's not dead, he's just pinin' for the fjords!"
