Protective Connection And Equipotential Bonding - Siemens SINAMICS S110 Manual

Danger to life through a hazardous voltage when connecting an unsuitable power supply
Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
• Connect the ground potential to the PE conductor connection.
• Mount the power supply close to the drive lineup.

Protective connection and equipotential bonding

Protective connections
The SINAMICS S drive system is designed for use in cabinets with a PE conductor
connection.
The PE conductor connection of the SINAMICS components must be connected to the PE
conductor connection of the control cabinet as follows:
Table 10- 6
Line supply cable in mm
Up to 16 mm
From 16 mm
From 35 mm
For materials other than copper, the cross-section should be increased so that as a
minimum, the same conductivity is attained.
All system components and machine parts must be incorporated in the protection concept.
The protective connection (PE connection) of the motors used must be established through
the motor cable. For EMC reasons, the shield of the motor cable should be connected
through a large surface area both at the Power Module as well as at the motor.
The drive line-up must be arranged on a common metallic bright mounting plate in order to
comply with the EMC limit values. The mounting plate must be connected to the PE
conductor connection of the cabinet through a low impedance.
Copper cables with appropriate cross sections (>2.5 mm²) must be used for the ground
connection of PROFIBUS nodes.

WARNING
Ideally, they should be mounted on a common mounting plate. If different mounting
plates are used, their electrical interconnection must comply with the EMC installation
guideline.
