System Grounding

All components of a control system and the devices it controls must be properly

grounded. Ground conductors should be connected in a star fashion, with all

branches routed to a central earth ground point. This ensures that no ground

conductor carries current from any other branch.

The control panel and enclosure should also be bonded to the plant system

ground per code. Inadequate grounding may compromise system integrity in the

presence of power switching transients and surges.
