Non “D-Type” Grounding Connections
As shown in Figure C-2, incoming wires that are foil shielded with a drain wire are
connected to the grounding bus.
When using incoming wires that are foil shielded without
a drain wire, strip back the
insulation, twist the foil shield together, and using a customer-supplied crimp
terminal, splice a wire to the end of the shield. Terminate the wire with an insulated
spring spade terminal, and attach it to the enclosure ground stud.
Figure C-2: Example of Grounding Shielded Cable at Both Ends
Installations in the USA
In the USA, the two units are connected using shielded cable. As shown in Figure
C-2, ground the shield at both ends.
In some USA installations, operation of the sys
tem can be compromised by excess
ground currents travelling along the shield. Figure C-3 shows an alternate method of
shielding. Cables connected to user peripherals (printers, VDTs, etc.) should have
shields co
nnected at both ends.
Separated wires of
cable are not shielded
