6.3 Connecting the grounding conductor
Internal ground terminal
When making connections, ensure the following:
• Ensure that the connecting surface is bare and is protected against corrosion using a
suitable substance, e.g. acid-free Vaseline.
• Arrange the flat washer and spring washer under the bolt head.
• Locate the cable lug under the clamping bracket.
• Use the terminals designated for the grounding conductor in the terminal box.
• Observe the tightening torque for the locking screw.
External ground terminal
When making connections, ensure the following:
• Ensure that the connecting surface is bare and is protected against corrosion using a
suitable substance, e.g. acid-free Vaseline.
• Position the cable lug between the contact bracket and the grounding bracket; do not
remove the contact bracket pressed into the enclosure!
• Arrange the flat washer and spring washer under the bolt head.
• Use the marked connection location for the grounding conductor on the stator housing.
• Observe the tightening torque for the locking screw.
Table 6- 4
The additional threaded hole on the grounding socket is optionally available for additional
equipotential bonding of high-frequency voltages and currents in converter operation.
