3.5.5 Shielding
The shield must be grounded at both ends to ensure effective shielding against high-
frequency interference. Especially on installations located away from each other, potential
differences can occur and therefore lead to potential equalization currents along a cable
shield. Such equalization currents on a cable shield must be avoided at all costs because
these can lead to interference signals. Contacting of the shield with the brushes of the
cable gland, “Shielding in VISIC100SF”, page 32.
