3.6.1 GROUNDING OF INPUT LINE
The supply is grounded through the ground terminal of the input connector. A protective
ground connection by the way of the grounding conductor in the input terminal is
essential for safe operation.

It is important that there be a ground connecting the supply to the load as shown in
Figure 3-3.
See Figure 2-1 and 2-2, for grounding cable configuration.
Figure 3-3 Output Ground Connection
3.6.3 FOR UNITS WITH O/P VOLTAGE ≤ 6kV
The ground connection is made via the shield of the RG58 coaxial HV output cable
provided with the supply.
3.6.4 FOR UNITS WITH O/P VOLTAGE > 6kV:
The ground connection between the load and the supply must be made with a separate
wire to the 8-32, ½ “ NC long grounding stud provided on the supply.
