Grounding circuit
An enclosure must be grounded according to the grounding network topology of the building or
plant for installation. In order to connect an enclosure with a protective grounding system, the
grounding topology shown in the figures “Grounding connected to single grounding bus inlet” or
“Grounding connected to each grounding bus inlet” can be used. A grounding cable with a cross
section of at least 5.5 mm
2
or more that complies with the standards in each country and region
should be used between each enclosure and grounding bus inlet.
When providing lightning arresters on power and signal lines, those arresters need to be
grounded to the same bus. For details, see Section 1.4, “Noise countermeasures.”
