Grounding Your System All equipment and components of a machine or process system should have a
common earth ground point connected to 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.
Grounding Your System to the Subpanel
The 2093 power rail (2093-PRSxx) ships with a braided ground strap, 100 mm
(3.9 in.). The ground strap connects the power rail ground stub to the bonded
cabinet ground bus.
Connecting the Braided Ground Strap Examples
For power rail dimensions, refer to the Kinetix 2000 Power Rail Installation
Instructions, publication 2093-IN004.
ATTENTION
The National Electrical Code contains grounding requirements,
conventions, and definitions. Follow all applicable local codes and
regulations to safely ground your system.
For CE grounding requirements, refer to Agency Compliance on page
17.
IMPORTANT
When 2094 mounting brackets may be used to mount a LIM over the
ac line filter, the braided ground strap must be attached to a mounting
bracket ground stud.
