3-6 Connecting Your Ultra5000
Grounding Your Ultra5000
We recommend that all equipment and components of a machine or
process system have a common earth ground point connected to their
chassis. A grounded system provides a safety ground path for short
circuit protection. Grounding your modules and panels minimize
shock hazard to personnel and damage to equipment caused by short
circuits, transient overvoltages, and accidental connection of
energized conductors to the equipment chassis. For CE grounding
requirements, refer to Appendix B.

The National Electrical Code contains grounding
requirements, conventions, and definitions. Follow
all applicable local codes and regulations to safely
ground your system. Refer to the illustration below
