Grounding

To protect against dangerous body currents, according to VDE, external conductive parts or equipment that are permanently connected to the building must be included in the equipotential bonding (grounding). Further protective measures (e.g. spacing, insulation, obstacles) are particularly useful when processing electrically conductive shielding materials and should complete the protection concept, especially if they are processed over a large area and are capable of carrying current.

The following points should be observed: Protective measures against dangerous body currents according to DIN 57100/VDE 0100 Part 410 + Part 540, grounding according to DIN/VDE 0100 Part 410 + Part 540, visual and test inspection according to DIN/VDE 0100 Part 610 Section 4+5 and EMC according to VDE 0100. Grounding is only permissible in a TNS or TT network! Under no circumstances may grounding be carried out in mains forms with combined PEN conductor! A residual current circuit breaker (FI / RCD) smaller than 30 mA must be installed.
