Grounding

Grounding is the process of operating an electronic system such as power supply

system, communication system, and control system, stably without damage from

lightning, transient-current, transient-voltage, and electric noise. Grounding also

helps in preventing injury from electric shock.

Ground equipment minimizes the electrical potential of the electronic device to

that of the ground, which is zero electrical potential. This prevents electrification

of the electronic device.

Connect the ground cable first. In cabling, the connection of cables without the

connection to the ground cable may cause damage of the equipment or bodily

injury to personnel.

The purposes of the ground construction are as follows:

• To prevent human life and the system from over-current, over-voltage, and

lightning

• To provide a discharge path for surge voltage generated by lightning and

power switch

• To protect the system from static electricity

• To eliminate or minimize the high-frequency potential in the system housing

• To provide a conductor for the balance and stability of high-frequency current

• To stabilize the potential of the circuit against the ground

Connecting Ground Cable (Option)

When connecting the ground cables, connect the ground cable first for before

installing system to prevent errors.

To connect a ground cable

1 Ensure that the items mentioned in below table are available.
