Are all the inactive metal parts interconnected by means of
large-surface and low-impedance connections?
Has a proper connection been installed with respect to the
ground/protected earth conductor system?
Has the isolation been removed from varnished and anodized
surfaces or have these connections been fitted with special
contact washer?
Have the connection been protected from corrosion, e.g. by
means of grease?
Have doors been grounded by means of grounding straps
connected to the body of the cubicle?
Cable routing
Cabling divided into groups?
Power cables (230 ... 400V) and signal lines installed in
separate channels or bunches?
Potential compensating
When installing the equipment at separate locations, check
the installation of the potential compensating line.
Cable screen
All covers of plugs are metallic?
All analog and data lines installed screened?
Line screens attached to the screening or the protected earth
conductor?
Have the screens been connected by means of large-surface
and low-impedance cable clamps?
Cable screens grounded both-sided where possible?
Inductors
Have the coils of contactors controlled by means of contacts
been connected to snubber networks?
