Sensor Shield Grounding Recommendations for SKF Multilog On-line System Installations

This paper describes SKF’s recommended grounding scheme for sensor cable shields, as it applies to both the SKF Multilog Local Monitoring Unit (LMU) and SKF Multilog Condition Monitoring Unit (CMU) on-line surveillance systems. The recommended approach follows IEEE Standard 142-1991. The grounding recommendations set forth by this IEEE standard are designed to protect plant personnel, machinery and the products they produce from electrostatic discharge.
