Earthing cables
The earthing of a system satisfies protective and functional measures.
Please observe the following points:
Earthing cables should be as short as possible.
Avoid ground loops.
Use ground straps with a width of at least 10 mm.
Shielding
In order to ensure trouble free operation of a system, cables with the largest
possible surface area (not cross section) are important. High frequency currents
do not flow through the entire cross section of the conductor, but predominantly
on the outer skin of a conductor.
Please observe the following points:
Always connect the shield over a large area using metal cable clips.
Avoid placing the shield on the ground with long wires.
Pre-Fuse
