Grounding the Kinetix 7000
Drive System
All equipment and components of a machine or process system must have a
common earth ground point connected to their chassis.
A grounded system provides a 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.
See Agency Compliance on page
for CE grounding requirements.
Grounding Your System to the Subpanel
, the drive is shown properly grounded to the bonded cabinet ground
on the subpanel.
Figure 50 - Drive Chassis Ground Connection
IMPORTANT
To improve the bond between the drive 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.
