Reliable Shield Grounding for Industrial Automation
Shield grounding plays an essential role in protecting industrial control systems from electromagnetic interference. When shielded cables are correctly grounded close to the cabinet entry point, unwanted electrical noise is diverted away from sensitive control circuits and communication networks.
Using shield clamps such as the WAGO 790-116 ensures consistent electrical contact between cable shielding and the grounding system, improving system stability and maintaining reliable signal transmission in complex automation installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control cabinets.
- PLC and automation systems.
- Shielded data and communication cables.
- Machine control installations.
- Instrumentation and process automation systems.
