Grounding Practices
The purpose of grounding is to:
• provide for the safety of personnel
• limit dangerous voltages on exposed parts with respect to ground
• facilitate proper over current device operation under ground fault
conditions, and
• provide for electrical interference suppression
I M P O R T A N T I M P O R T A N T Generally, the means used for external
grounding of equipment should be in accordance
with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), C22.1
or the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA
70 and applicable local codes.
Refer to the grounding diagrams that follow for ground connections.
The drive’s main ground bus must be connected to the system
ground. This ground bus is the common ground point for all grounds
internal to the drive.
