All units protected jointly by one protective device must be connected to the same earthing device by a
protective earth.
Simultaneously exposed units must be connected to a joint earth.
The following applies additionally to IT mains:
No active conductor of the unit must be earthed directly. The units must be connected individually, in groups or
in their entirety to a protective earth.
Mono-phase plug connection
Via suitable filters, delay units, suitable cables and cable runs.
-
Run cables of different electrical circuits (mains voltage, low voltage) physically separate from each other
in order to keep interference low.
-
Reference potential wires for the electrical circuits or joint connection point: star-shaped wiring with one
or more reference points that are earthed with large cross-section insulated wires
-
Electrically conductive parts of the sewing unit or sewing equipment must be connected to the protective
earth on the DAC

Earth connections
Earth connections must be run from each part of the equipment to a common point. Braided, large crosssection wires must be used between moving parts and the housing and the earth connection must be kept as
short as possible.
-
Signal transfer
Make sure that no interference voltage is transferred from the control and main current cables to signal cables
by using electrostatic and magnetic shielding, twisted wires and the cable run. (A cable crossover at right
angles is better than one with a smaller angle. Parallel runs must definitely be avoided.)
-
Separating equipment parts
Equipment parts susceptible to interference (components with pulse processing and/or with low levels) should
be separated and/or shielded from switch equipment such as electromagnetic relays, thyristors etc.
-
In spite of the fact that it is not susceptible to interference, the DAC
