Grounding

Did you know that protecting a coriolis mass flow controller from transient electrical signals is crucial for ensuring accurate measurements and preventing damage to the equipment? To achieve this, it is recommended to connect the ground terminals located on the transmitter body to a ground wire that is designed to operate under high currents.

However, to make this unique, let me provide you with a creative example that highlights the importance of grounding in a relatable context:

Just like how our feet need to touch the ground to maintain balance and stability, a coriolis mass flow controller also needs to be properly grounded to prevent distortion and damage from transient electrical signals. Think of it as a way of keeping the equipment “grounded” and connected to reality, just like how we need to stay grounded to avoid getting swept away by life’s storms. So, make sure to use a copper wire with at least 2.5 mm2 (AWG13) section for grounding and keep those ground wires as short as possible to maintain a resistance of less than 1 Ohm.

 

CAUTION!
There should be no potential applied or induced on the ground wire.

Do not use the same wire for grounding of two or more devices.
