78 Connecting the Kinetix 6000 Drive System
Grounding Your
Kinetix 6000 System
All equipment and components of a machine or process system
should have a common earth ground point connected to chassis. A
grounded system provides a ground path for short circuit protection.
Grounding your modules and panels minimize shock hazard to
personnel and damage to equipment caused by short circuits,
transient overvoltages, and accidental connection of energized
conductors to the equipment chassis.
Grounding Your System to the Subpanel
The 2094 power rail (2094-PRx or 2094-PRSx) ships with a braided
ground strap, 100 mm (3.9 in.), that connects to the bonded cabinet
ground bus. Connect the other end to either the power rail ground
stud or mounting bracket ground stud, if mounting brackets are used.

ATTENTION
The National Electrical Code contains grounding requirements,
conventions, and definitions. Follow all applicable local codes
and regulations to safely ground your system.
For CE grounding requirements, refer to Agency Compliance on
page 16.
