7.2 Electrical requirements 
Power system 
Power voltage must be in the range of the specification value. 
It is recommended to use a power distribution system (a power distribution system with a 
separate neutral and grounding conductor in order to avoid large ground current loops 
due to voltage differences in the neutral conductor. 
The total electrical installation should be protected by an appropriately rated disconnect 
switch, circuit breakers. 
The electrical installation must only be performed by a qualified electrician. Electrical 
connections must comply with all applicable national and local codes. 
Cabling & Connection 
All internal cabling must be properly connected and seated. 
All power wiring must be from circuit breaker protected lines. Do not connect to an 
unprotect circuit. 
Do not route power and communication wires in the same conduit. Separate conduits 
must be run for communication wires and power wires. However, fiber optic wire may be 
run in the same conduit with power wires. 
Grounding 
The LED display screen must be properly grounded according the applicable national and 
local codes. 
Properly grounding every display cabinet is necessary as it is essential to prevent shock, 
shock hazards, and fire hazards. 
Lighting Strike Protection 
A LED display screen cabinet bonder to an earth ground aims to dissipate the high 
voltage and current from a lighting strike. The resistance of the grounding electrode must 
be  as  low  as  possible.  However,  damage  can  still  occur  to  a  LED  display  screen 
cabinet`s electronic equipment from lighting voltage transients. 
Though some surge  protection  is incorporated into a LED  display screen  in  order to 
protect the display  from  high voltage lighting transients, surge  protectors need to  be 
installed.
