4 Mounting and Wiring Grounding This section describes the earthing methods and precautions. 4-6-1 Considerations for Earthing Methods Local potential fluctuations due to lightning or noise occurred by power devices will cause potential fluc- tuations between ground terminals of devices. This potential fluctuation may result in device malfunc- tion or damage.To prevent this, it is necessary to suppress the occurrence of a difference in electrical potential between ground terminals of devices.
4 Mounting and Wiring 4-6-2 Earthing Methods Each of these earthing methods is given below. Equipotential Bonding System Equipotential bonding is an earthing method in which steel frames and building structures, metal ducts and pipes, and metal structures in floors are connected together and make connections to the earth trunk line to achieve a uniform potential everywhere across the entire building.
Page 61
4 Mounting and Wiring Star Earthing If the earthing method used for the building is not equipotential bonding or the earthing system is unknown, choose (a) from among the earthing methods given below. (a) Connecting devices and noise sources to separate earth electrodes This is an earthing method to separately ground an earth electrode of the device that is connected with a communications cable or other devices and an earth electrode of a high-power device that could be a noise source, such as a motor or inverter.
Page 62
4 Mounting and Wiring Daisy Chain This is an earthing method to connect the device that is connected with a communications cable, other devices, and a device that could be a noise source using a daisy-chain topology to a common earth electrode.
