Connecting Your Ultra1500 3-5
Grounding Your Ultra1500 All equipment and components of a machine or process system should have a
common earth ground point connected to their chassis. A grounded system
provides a safety ground path for short circuit protection. Grounding your
modules and panels minimize shock hazard to personnel and damage to
equipment caused by short circuits, transient overvoltages, and accidental
connection of energized conductors to the equipment chassis. For CE
grounding requirements, refer to Meeting Emission Requirements in Chapter 1.
Grounding Your System to the Subpanel
Refer to HF Bonding Your System on page 1-11 for details on subpanel
grounding.
IMPORTANT
To improve the bond between the Ultra1500 and subpanel,
construct your subpanel out of zinc plated (paint-free)
steel.
ATTENTION
!
The National Electrical Code contains grounding
requirements, conventions, and definitions. Follow all
applicable local codes and regulations to safely ground your
system. Refer to the illustration below for details on
grounding your Ultra1500. Refer to Appendix B for the
power wiring diagram for your Ultra1500 drive.
