Grounding of control cabinet and distribution box

Home / Grounding of control cabinet and distribution box

Grounding of the units: Attach a ground wire from one of the threaded studs (A) at the bottom of the housing, to the mounting plate (B). In today's industrial automation and control systems, electrical control panel cabinets play a critical role in ensuring the safe and reliable operation of equipment. EMC is the ability of electronic equipment to operate without problems within an electromagnetic environment. The primary purpose is establishing a zero-voltage reference point for circuit operation and protecting sensitive electronic components. The following guidelines should be observed when grounding a cabinet: An unpainted earth reference plane or rail must be installed on the floor of the cabinet for the conventional reference potential.
