Potential Compensation
Potential differences can occur between installation components that are in separate areas and these
are fed by different supplies,
have double-sided conductor shields which are grounded on different installation components.
A potential-compensation cable must be routed to the potential compensation.
A potential compensation cable must have the following characteristics:
Low impedance. In the case of compensation cables that are routed on both sides, the
compensation line impedance must be considerably smaller than that of the shield connection
(max. 10 % of shield connection impedance).
Should the length of the compensation cable be less than 200 m, then its cross-section must be at
least 16 mm
2
/ 0.025 inch
2
. If the cable length is greater than 200 m, then a cross-section of at least
25 mm
2
/ 0.039 inch
2
is required.
The compensation cable must be made of copper or zinc coated steel.
The compensation cable must be connected to the protective conductor over a large surface area
and must be protected against corrosion.
Danger
Never use the shield as a potential compensation.
