Reference conductor system

The cabinet contains different reference conductor systems that are connected to one another:

• An unpainted earth reference plane must be installed on the floor of the cabinet as the common reference potential.

• The reference conductor system for the following areas must be separated from one another:

  • Analog part (with point-to-point arranged reference conductors)

  • Digital part (with meshed reference conductors)

  • Power circuit (usually with point-to-point arranged reference conductors)

• The galvanic coupling for the reference conductor system must be minimized.
