• The lower the impedance of an equipotential conductor, the more effective is
equipotential bonding.
• When shielded signal cables interconnect two system components and the
shielding is connected on both ends to ground/protective conductors, the
impedance of the additionally installed equipotential conductor must not exceed
10% of the shielding impedance.
• The cross-sectional dimension of an equipotential conductor must be sufficient
to handle the maximum equipotential current flow. Practical and proven
equipotential conductor cross-section is 16 mm
2
.
• Always use equipotential conductors made of copper or galvanized steel.
Always connect the cables on a large surface to the equipotential
busbar/protective conductor and protect it against corrosion.
• Route your equipotential conductor to minimize the area between the
equipotential conductor and signal lines as far as possible (see the figure
below).

Introduction
Inside buildings (inside and outside cabinets), clearances must be maintained
between groups of different cables to achieve the necessary electromagnetic
