Connecting the grounding conductor

The grounding conductor cross-section of the machine must be in full conformance with the
installation specifications, e.g. according to IEC / EN 60204-1.
Table 6-2
There is a hexagon bolt with a flat washer and a spring washer on the stator frame at the
designated connecting point for the grounding conductor. The grounding conductor can be
connected as follows:
● With stranded cables with cable lugs
● With flat cables with cable end designed accordingly
As an alternative, you can connect the grounding conductor without cable lugs using a terminal
plate at the marked connection point.
Connecting the grounding conductor
● Ensure that the connecting surface is bare and is protected against corrosion using a
● Arrange the flat washer and spring washer under the bolt head.
● Check that the maximum permissible clamping thickness of 10 mm for the cable lug or strap
● Fasten the clamping screw according to the following table. Screw-in depth and tightening
● Use the connecting terminals designated for the grounding conductor in the terminal box.
