EMC grounding method
Shield Ring Method
Connect all shields for that conduit entry (other than power) to a supplied
shield terminal ring (see Figure 3-15). This shield ring is a stainless steel
ring with a metal tab. Place the shield ring under the conduit nut. Crimp
the shields from all cables for that conduit entry to a 1/4" female quick
disconnect, then push it onto the tab that sticks out of the conduit shield
ring. Keep shields as short as possible.
Ground Stud Method
Connect all cable shields for that conduit entry to the grounding stud
closest to that conduit entry hole.
