4) Shield must be continuous
The PowerLoop cable will be split in two segments, separated by field
equipment including junction boxes or Loop Units. The shield must be
continued through these separations. There must be no electrical
connection to the local frame earth.
In the following figure the junction boxes includes a strap / jumper to
continue the shield between the cable segments (these straps /
jumpers should be made of a suitable low-impedance cable).

f there are break-outs from the main loop (to make local small loops
