Functional Ground

• use 2.54cm (1in.) copper braid or 10.0mm

(8 AWG) copper wire to connect

each chassis, the enclosure and a central ground bus mounted on the

backĆpanel

• use a steel enclosure to guard against electromagnetic interference (EMI)

• make sure the enclosure door viewing window is a laminated screen or a

conductive optical substrate (to block EMI)

Protective Earth Ground

• use a 2.5mm

(14 AWG) copper wire for the equipment grounding conductors

• install a bonding wire [2.5mm

(14AWG) minimum] for electrical contact

between the door and the enclosure; do not rely on the hinge

IMPORTANT

Do not lay one ground lug directly on top of the other; this

type of connection can become loose due to compression

of the metal lugs.

Place the first lug between a star washer and a nut with a

captive star washer.

After tightening the nut, place the second lug between the

first nut and a second nut with a captive star washer.

Connect an equipment grounding conductor directly from each

chassis to an individual bolt on the ground bus.
