PE conductor connection
At the PE conductor connection in the terminal box and on the housing of the motor, the
PE conductor must be connected by placing a plain washer between cable lug and housing
of the motor. A serrated lock washer between cable lug and screw head / hexagon nut
ensures an electrically well-conductive connection. The following illustrations show the
correct connection for the different designs of the PE conductor connections:
