EMC Installation Guidance
Protective Earth (PE) Connections
Local wiring regulations take precedence and may require the protective
earth connection of the motor to be connected locally, i.e., not as specified
in these instructions. This will not cause shielding problems because of
the relatively high RF impedance of the local earth connection.
When installing an AC15 in a control cubicle, Parker recommends using a star-point earthing method where
‘noisy’ and ‘clean’ earths are separated out. Four separate earth bus bars, three of which are insulated from
the mounting panel, connect to a single earth point (star point) near the incoming safety earth from the main
supply:
