Motor controller power connections

I had some 50mm^2 welding cable available and it was used for the motor power connections and for the shorter wirings inside the controller's enclosure. While connecting the power cables on the controller I noticed that the motor output connectors are very close to the round control signal connectors. I had to lower the head of one of the M8 bolts to prevent it from making a short with the signal connector body. The clearance between the connectors are now just 2mm. I will use some additional insulation between them for peace of mind.
