Observe the following for ground connection:
•
In the same way as with active elements, exercise meticulous care to interconnect
inactive metal elements.
•
Always make sure that you have a low-impedance interconnection between metal
elements (e.g. large and highly conductive contact surface).
•
The protective insulating finish on varnished or anodized metal elements must be pierced
or removed. Use special contact washers or completely remove the finish on the point of
contact.
•
Protect your connecting elements against corrosion (e.g. with a suitable grease).
•
Interconnect moving chassis ground elements (e.g. cabinet doors) with flexible ground
straps. Always use short ground straps with a large surface (the surface is decisive for
the diversion of high-frequency currents).
