Equipotential bonding 
Differences in potential (for example, due to different mains supplies) between the inverters 
and the PROFIBUS DP master must be avoided. 
●  Recommended equipotential bonding cables: 
–  16 mm
2
 Cu for equipotential bonding cables up to 200 m long 
–  25 mm
2
 Cu for equipotential bonding cables of over 200 m long. 
●  Equipotential bonding cables must be routed as close as possible to signal leads; this 
means that the area between the bonding conductor and signal lead is as small as 
possible. 
●  Equipotential bonding cables must be contacted in a 360° connection with the earth 
electrode/PE conductor.
