Grounding Your
Kinetix 6000 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
