In PCS (Precast Conduit System) engineering, cable trays and conduits serve as cable laying channels, and their continuous grounding is an important auxiliary shielding measure. Requirements for achieving continuous grounding include:
1. Metal Material: Metal cable trays and conduits must be used.
2. Electrical Connection Between Sections: Each section of cable tray or conduit should be bridged using a dedicated grounding connector or braided copper tape to ensure electrical continuity throughout the path. The paint or insulation layer at the connection point should be removed to ensure metal-to-metal contact.
3. Multi-Point Grounding: Cable trays/conduits should be reliably connected to the building's grounding system or the PCS cabinet's grounding busbar at both ends and at regular intervals (e.g., 20-30 meters) to form multi-point grounding, providing a discharge path for induced current.
4. Terminal Treatment: The ends of conduits entering the PCS cabinet should have a good overlap with the cabinet's metal wall. In this way, the metal cable tray/conduit itself constitutes a grounded shield, partially absorbing and reflecting external interference and limiting the leakage of internal cable radiation.
