connect inactive metal parts such as cabinet doors and supports
with grounding strips. These should be short and have a large surface.

Á

Cabinet members

The cabinet members should have a large-area connection to the
cabinet housing (metal-to-metal connection).

Signal lines

With shielded signal lines, the shield must be secured to the

protective conductor bar or an additionally fitted shield bar using
large-area cable clamps.

Ä

Cable clamp

The cable clamp must enclose and make contact with the shield braid
over a large area.

Å

Shield bar

This bar must have a large-area connection to the cabinet members
(metal-to-metal connection). It serves for grounding the cable shields.

The protective conductor bar must have a large-area connection to
the cabinet members (metal-to-metal connection). The protective

providing a reliable path to ground for fault currents and interference
currents.
