Table 10 - Recommended Welding Cable for High Frequency Grounding/Bonding
DC Drive High Frequency Grounding of Adjacent Cabinet Panels
Unless there is good continuity from panel to panel, the potential between the
panels will be different.
Notes on cabinet grounding:
• This grounding scheme is for high frequency grounding only. The
customer is responsible for all safety grounds and meeting local and state
equipment grounding codes.
• If the DC Drive Regulator components are mounted to a sub-panel, then
there must be a 1/0 Welding cable ground jumper between the sub-panel
and the main cabinet control panel.
