Generic grounding guidelines
•
Connect the ground terminal of each electric device individually to the site grounding bus bar
(through the filter if installed).
•
The grounding connections cannot loop from one electric device to another electric device, or to any
other piece of equipment, or from any other piece of equipment.
•
Ground impedance must be compliant with local industrial safety regulations.
•
The protective ground of the unit must be connected to the system ground. Ground impedance must
meet with the requirements of national and local industrial safety regulations and electrical
requirements. The condition of the grounding connections must be checked periodically.
•
Make sure that all grounding surfaces are clean and remove paint from the contact areas.
•
For detailed information, see appropriate Chapters in this user guide.
The best grounding is achieved when the main frame of each electric device is directly connected to the
ground. If this is not possible, the electric device must be grounded at least from one of the safety
grounding points with an appropriate grounding cable. For good functional grounding use wide flat
grounding braid. Round grounding wires are adequate for safety grounding but it does not provide very
good functional grounding because of its higher impedance at high frequencies. The grounding points
are marked to the electric device.
There are two marked safety grounding points, however, any of the mounting points can be used for
grounding.
Grounding points
1. Grounding connection: M8 hole. Refer to Main dimension drawing if necessary.
Safety grounding points and protective earth conductor
Touch current in the protective earth conductor exceeds 3,5 mA AC and 10 mA DC.
The cross sectional area of the protective earth conductor must be at least equal to that of the
incoming supply conductor.
One of the safety grounding points must be connected to adjacent building steel (girder, joist), a floor
ground rod, or bus bar. Grounding points must comply with national and local industrial safety
regulations and/or electrical codes.
Cabling and wiring
To make sure that the electric device functions correctly and to minimize the radiated emissions, all
connected cables and wires must be EMC-shielded. Shieldings must be connected to the ground at both
ends of the cable or wire. All power connections must be secured with cable lugs and cable glands. EMCshielded cable glands are used in all Danfoss products for the power connections. Make sure that the low
voltage cable (control signal cable) shield is also grounded from the both ends.
Risk of electric shock when the connection box lid is not installed.
When you work with the power connections make sure that electricity has been disconnected
and the electric device has discharged. Measure the level of the remaining voltage before you
touch the power terminals.
All electrical connections must be done according to instructions. It is essential to make sure that all
terminal connections are installed properly and the and the intended application is suitable for the
product in terms of electrical requirements/characteristics.
The cable harness for electric connections needs to be terminated with cable lugs and cable glands. It is
recommended to use IP67/68 rated, 360º shielded cable glands and single core automotive rated
screened cable.
The cable gland has three functions, it works as a stress relief, it seals the connection against water and
dirt and provides appropriate EMI shielding. Advanced cable glands could achieve high EMI attenuation
over a wide frequency range.
The cable lug and cable gland must be assembled according to instructions. For correct assembly of the
cable gland, it is recommended to use a torque key with a turnkey head and a key to adapt the cable
gland. The cable lug is connected to terminal with a M8 screw. Shielding of the power cable must be
connected to the electric device body by the cable gland. Recommendations for the tightening torques
must be followed. See the manufacturer's instructions on how to install the cable glands and the cable
lugs. The following instructions may not apply to every type of connection this electric device has.

5. Cut a piece of length D of the inner sheath shown in Figure below. The length D must be equal to the
length of the cable lug body.
6. Make sure that the conducting strands of the cable are completely free of silicone and other impurities.
Place the cable inside the cable lug body, and crimp the cable lug twice in different places. See Figure
below.
Connecting cable lug
7. Cut piece of shrink tube and shrink it over the cable lug and braid screen as shown in Figure below.
This is done to keep the braid screen in place and for extra insulation.
The shrink tube must be specified for operating temperature range from -40 ºC to 150 ºC. Self
gluing shrink tube is recommended.
8. Insert the cable through the corresponding hole in the electric device frame and connect the cable lug
to the power terminal with the correct screw. Use spring washer between the cable lug and the
connection screw or nut. Do not tighten the cable lug screw at this point to ensure fitting of the cable
gland.
Make sure that there is at least 10 mm air gap between the cable lug and other metallic
structures including the braid of the cable. If the air gap is smaller, use extra insulation shrink
tube to cover the lug.
9. Screw the cable gland to the power terminals of the electric device according to instructions. Tighten
the cable gland with the specified torque.
Tighten the gable gland from the gable gland body to enclosure with torque 15 Nm. Then
