Ground and screen connections
The task of the grounding system is twofold - protective and functional. The primary
task is to serve as protective earth (PE) for personal and equipment safety. The
secondary task is to serve as a return path for common mode current.
For further information refer to EN 60204-1 and UL 1740.
Grounding requirements
The controller cabinet ground must come from the mains power supply PE.
For requirements on the marking of the supply ground connection inside the control
cabinet refer to UL 508C. For further details on how grounding systems should be
designed refer to IEC 61000-5-2. For details of cross-sectional area of PE refer to
IEC 60204-1.
