Chapter 5 Connect the Kinetix 5300 Drive System
Ground the Drive System All equipment and components of a machine or process system must have a
common earth ground point connected to chassis. A grounded system
provides a ground path for protection against electrical shock. Grounding your
drives and panels minimize the shock hazard to personnel and damage to
equipment caused by short circuits, transient overvoltages, and accidental
connection of energized conductors to the equipment chassis.
Ground the System Subpanel
Ground Kinetix 5300 drives to a bonded cabinet ground-bus with a braided
ground strap of at least 10 mm
2
(0.0155 in
2
) in cross-sectional area. Keep the
braided ground strap as short as possible for optimum bonding.
Figure 36 - Connect the Ground Terminal
Refer to the System Design for Control of Electrical Noise Reference Manual,
publication GMC-RM001, for more information.
ATTENTION: The National Electrical Code contains grounding requirements,
conventions, and definitions. Follow all applicable local codes and regulations to
safely ground your system.
For CE grounding requirements, refer to Agency Compliance
on page 24.
