Grounding implementation instructions

 The ProfiDAT
compact Rail (ground conductor rail) must be at the beginning and end as well as every 5th connector point to
®
be connected to the support structure (substructure). The cross-section of the ground conductor rail must be at least 16 mm².
 Locally applicable standards or regulations may require different (lower) grounding impedance values. The system operator
must check the locally applicable standards or regulations and implement the grounding system accordingly.
 The grounding impedance must be measured during installation and a test report prepared with the following content:
Condition of the grounding connections

Extent of corrosion and corrosion protection

Fastenings of the cables and components

 Measurement of grounding impedance
Documentation of modifications and extensions

Work steps:
 Attach the ground conductor rail to the PE connector with a feed shoe (for M8 screw) according to the applicable standards and
regulations (see Fig. 13). Tightening torque of the nut (1): min. 10 Nm
 Use nickel-plated feed shoes (for corrosion protection).

Do not crimp the ground conductor rail!
Comply with the bending radii of the ground conductor rails.
The ground conductor rail must be suitable for an operating temperature of at least 90° C!
