4.2      Ground connections
The drive must be connected to the system ground of the AC supply. 
The ground wiring must conform to local regulations and codes of 
practice.

Where there is a possibility of temporary condensation or 
corrosion occurring, the ground connection should be 
protected from corrosion by suitable jointing compound.
Ground loop impedance
The ground loop impedance must conform to the 
requirements of local safety regulations.
The drive must be grounded by a connection capable of 
carrying the prospective fault current until the protective 
device (fuse, etc,) disconnects the AC supply. 
The ground connections must be inspected and tested at 
appropriate intervals.
