4.2 Grounding Best Practices
It is important to effectively earth ground the Wireless Gateways and I/O Modules
to ensure safety, prevent static electricity damage, and to provide protection from
lightning and/or electrical surges in the area. Ensure the enclosures in which the
Gateways or I/O Modules are mounted are properly earth grounded as defined
by the NEC.
A true earth ground physically consists of a conductive pipe or rod driven into the
earth. Rod electrodes shall not be less than 8 feet (2.44 m) in length and consist
of the following materials and installed in the following manner:
Electrodes shall be copper clad or their equivalent and shall be not less than 5/8
inch (15.875 mm) in diameter, or listed non-ferrous rods or their equivalent and
not less than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) in diameter.
The electrode shall be installed such that at least 8 feet (2.44 m) of length is in
contact with the soil. It shall be driven to a depth of not less than 8 feet (2.44 m).
The electrode shall be driven at an oblique angle not to exceed 45 degrees from
vertical or shall be buried in a trench that is at least 2 1/2 feet (.762 m) deep. The
upper end of the electrode shall be flush with or below ground level. If ground end
and the grounding electrode conductor attachment are above ground, ensure
protection against physical damage.
Terre Des Meilleures Pratiques (Françias)
Il est important de efficacement TERRE Wireless Gateways et modules E / S
pour assurer la sécurité, prévenir les dommages de l'électricité statique et la
protection contre la foudre et / ou les surtensions électriques dans la région. Se
assurer que les enclos dans lesquels les passerelles ou modules E / S sont
montés sont correctement relié à la terre tel que défini par le NEC (National
Electrical Code.
Une véritable prise de terre se compose physiquement d'un tuyau conducteur ou
tige entraînée dans la terre. Électrodes de Rod ne sont pas moins de 8 pieds
(2,44 m) de longueur et se compose des matières suivantes et installé de la
manière suivante:
Les électrodes doivent être en cuivre plaqué ou leur équivalent et ne doit pas être
moins de 5/8 de pouce (15,875 mm) de diamètre, ou listé tiges non-ferreux ou
leur équivalent et pas moins de 1/2 pouce (12,7 mm) de diamètre.
L'électrode doit être installée de telle sorte que au moins huit pieds (2,44 m) de
longueur est en contact avec le sol. Il est conduit à une profondeur d'au moins 8
pieds (2,44 m). L'électrode doit être conduit à un angle oblique de ne pas
dépasser 45 degrés de la verticale ou sera enterré dans une tranchée qui est au
moins 2 1/2 pieds (0,762 m) de profondeur. L'extrémité supérieure de l'électrode
doit être de niveau avec ou au-dessous du niveau du sol. Si la fin du sol et le
conducteur l'attachement de l'électrode de mise à la terre sont au dessus du sol,
assurer une protection contre les dommages physiques.
