There is a hexagon bolt with a flat washer and a spring washer on the stator frame at the
designated connection point for the grounding conductor. The grounding conductor can be
connected as follows:
● With stranded cables with cable lugs
● With flat cables with cable end designed accordingly
As an alternative, you can connect the grounding conductor without cable lugs using a
clamping plate at the marked connection point.
Connecting the grounding conductor
● Use the connecting terminals designated for the grounding conductor in the terminal box.
● Ensure that the connecting surface is bare and is protected against corrosion using a
suitable substance, e.g. acid-free Vaseline.
● Arrange the flat washer and spring washer under the screw head.
