RFI Grounding

The

iQ Series generator provides the operating power

and power returns. Make sure the generator is grounded

properly.

In addition to the safety considerations, proper grounding

is essential for the effective suppression of RFI (Radio

Frequency Interference). Every generator contains a

RFI filter which blocks noise on the AC power line from

entering the generator control circuitry. This filter also

prevents ultrasonic RFI from being fed back into the AC

power line.

If you experience problems with RFI from the press, run

an additional grounding wire from the press base ground-

ing stud to the nearest grounded metal pipe or equivalent

earth ground by means of a ground clamp. Use at least 14

AWG wire for the connection to the press base.

CAUTION

To minimize electrical noise

and eliminate ground cur-

rents, ground the chassis

as shown. Use a STAR con-

figuration (illustrated below).

Do not DAISY CHAIN the

grounds.
