Grounding an On-Site Operation Panel
²
Join several on-site operation panels to one another with firm contact.
Siemens recommends the use of contact washers on painted metal mounting walls. If the mounting wall
is not metallic, place a metal layer, for example a metal sheet, between the mounting wall and the on-
site operation panels. Then connect this sheet to the system grounding.
