Fig. 4-2 Equipotential bonding by means of equipotential bonding lines
Arrangement:
The distance between the signal lines (forward and return conductor) or between
signal lines and the appropriate equipotential bonding lines must be as short as
possible (bundle the lines!). The interference surface between the lines must be
kept as small as possible.
Cross-section:
Cross-section of the equipotential bonding lines ≥ 10mm
