Grounding
Grounding is the process of operating an electronic system (for example. power
supplying system, communication system, and control system) stably from a
lightning, transient-current, transient-voltage and electric noise and of preventing
injury from electric shock.
Ground equipment minimizes the electrical potential of the electronic device to
that of the ground, which is zero electrical potential, so that it can prevent the
device from occurring electrification.
Connect the ground cable first. In cabling, the connection of cables without the
connection to the ground cable may cause damage of the equipment or bodily
injury to personnel.
The purposes of the ground construction are as follows:
To prevent human life and the system from over-current, over-voltage, and
lightning
To provide a discharge path for surge voltage generated by lightning and
power switch
To protect the system from static electricity
To eliminate or minimize the high-frequency potential in the system housing
To provide a conductor for the balance and stability of high-frequency current
To stabilize the potential of the circuit against the ground
