IMPORTANT
Improper grounding can have an adverse effect
ontheowmeasurement.Ensurethatthe
instrument is properly grounded.
Theelectromotiveforceofthemagneticowmeter
is minute and it is easily affected by noise, and
the reference electric potential is the same as that
ofthemeasuringuid.Therefore,thereference
electricpotential(terminalpotential)oftheowtube
and converter also need to be the same as that of
themeasuringuid.Moreover,thepotentialmustbe
thesameastheground.Themagneticowmeter
is equipped with a grounding ring that makes a
connectionwiththechargeofthemeasureduid
forgroundingandprotectsthelining.Theowmeter
shouldbegroundedbycertainspecications
(groundingresistanceof100Ωorless,or10Ωor
less) according to Figure 4.4.3.
Grounding is mandatory especially for insulated
piping such as PVC-sheathed pipes. If not, the
magneticowmetermeasurestheowincorrectly
becausethereferenceelectricalpotentialisoating.
Moreover, grounding is also mandatory in the
simultaneous outputs of current and pulse. If not,
theowmetercausesalargemeasurementerror
because the outputs interfere with each other.
