Introduction
Introduction
The information in this document helps you to properly connect power and ground to Emerson's CHARMs, S-series, and M-series products. For more information on other aspects of site preparation please refer to the Site Preparation and Design for DeltaV Digital Automation Systems. We realize that not all applications require the same level of grounding. In particular, sites that are mission critical (for example, pharmaceutical batch processes and nuclear power monitoring),require the highest level of power, ground, and surge integrity and protection.
Introduction
The basic premise
The basic premise

All of the recommendations in this document are based on good engineering practice and apply to any control system. The following principles provide a foundation for system design with respect to mitigating interference issues through power and grounding. Power, ground, and surge should always be considered together because they frequently interact. A system where power, ground, and surge suppression work in unison provides the most stable system. There is not a "magic hole" that we can dump all of our unwanted interference into. However by establishing a stable ground reference (preferably 1 to 3 ) for the control system, voltage events such as those caused by facility faults, dramatic load changes, or lightning that affect one area of the ground system will not adversely cause issues with the control system's ground reference. Noise (interference) always wants to return to its source following the path of least resistance (Ohm's law)
If differences occur between this manual and local or regional codes and regulations, codes and regulations take precedence.
The basic premise
The reasons for grounding

Safety ground (protective earth) protects personnel from injury resulting from defective supply feeds. For example, if the insulation of the line side of a 120 VAC power conductor becomes frayed, causing the conductor to be in direct contact with a properly grounded metal enclosure, a protective interrupt, such as a fuse or circuit breaker, opens. The ground conductor must be sized as large as the maximum AC conductor feeding the load. This conductor should follow the same path as the line conductors to their source, that is, first disconnect or separately derived source. High frequency ground ground systems that improve signal integrity by reducing noise caused by machinery such as variable speed drives, welders, or commutated DC motors. Interference and transients from other instrumentation and equipment is also greatly reduced with a properly constructed high frequency ground system. Skin effect causes high frequency signals to travel closer to the surface of conductors. For this reason only the outermost part of cables actually carry the high frequency interference. For example, a 500 KHz signal uses 100% of the copper in a 33 AWG wire, but only 36% of the copper in a 19 AWG wire. High frequency with respect to control systems often encompasses a broad band of frequencies starting as low as 10 kHz. Stable DC reference ground A low impedance ground (1 to 3 between the ground systemtriad or plant gridand earth) maintains the control system at a stable reference. Utility power and lightning systems should have their own grounding systems. For safety reasons all grounds shall be connected together. However, there is finite impedance interconnecting each ground system. There are also impedance variations between all points of the same system. When a disruptive event occurs, a short duration voltage gradient is established at the location where the fault makes contact with the localized ground. By assuring that the control system has a low impedance to its DeltaV Instrument Ground (DIG), events that occur in one area of the ground system (typically due to lightning, load shifting, or faulty utilities) that cause a gradient elevation proximal to it does not have as significant an effect on the DeltaV Instrumentation Ground (DIG) potential. Lightning protection protects property and personnel from lightning strokes. Lightning mitigation protects equipment from induced energy as a result of lightning. This is accomplished through the interconnection and close proximity of all of the DeltaV grounding systems. All metal enclosures are connected to the safety ground system. Separately derived systems, such as isolation transformers and UPSs, should be as close to the DeltaV systems as possible. Case studies have shown that induced energy as a result of lightning strokes has disrupted and even damaged instrumentation equipment due to variance in ground potentials at multiple locations. By keeping all metal as closely interconnected as possible with the safety ground system any induced voltage quickly equalizes. This goal is realized by multiple eddy current paths, minimizing the need for any single conductor to shunt the equalization current.

Ground cable sizing
Ground cable sizing

DeltaV is a ground referenced system. To maintain high integrity it is important that careful consideration be paid to ground conductor sizing. The original site preparation manual, Site Preparation and Design for DeltaV Digital Automation Systems, lists some typical methods of connecting grounding networks. More grounding networks can be found in the section of this document on Grounding Topologies. Typically for large high-integrity systems, shields are connected to the chassis ground bar. One of the most cost efficient grounding method uses a star topology with larger conductor sizes at the sections located a greater distance from the cabinets. The following tables are applicable for all DeltaV products. Table 5-1 lists the appropriate wire size with respect to the distance between a cabinet and the closest ground bar or between individual ground bars. Cable sizes are determined based on the number of I/O points associated with that particular section of cable. The overall distance from an enclosure to the earthing point at the DeltaV Instrument Ground (DIG) should not exceed 300 feet. The braided cable in Table 5-2 may be used as an alternative as shown in Table 5-3 for the cable in Table 5-1. Single enclosures or a group of adjacent enclosures with a relatively small number of I/O points may connect the chassis ground and the DC ground buses together at the cabinet provided the wire size, distances, and I/O points are within the specifications listed in Table 5-4.

Establishing and maintaining clean power

Topics covered in this chapter: Clean power options Single AC source Two AC sources
To operate your DeltaV system at the highest level of integrity (that is, to maintain the system with the least amount of disruptive events due to power anomalies) a properly designed power conditioning system should be considered. Clean-power with respect to alternating current used to power bulk supplies is a term that describes the sinusoidal power that maintains its characteristics with both linear and nonlinear loads. Some commonly used standards which address power quality are: IEEE Recommended Practice for Monitoring Electric Power Quality IEEE Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electrical Power Systems IEC 61000-3-11 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Limitations of voltage changes, voltage fluctuations and flicker in public low voltage supply systems IEC 61000-3-12 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Limits for harmonic currents produced by equipment connected to public low voltage systems
Tables Table 6-1 and Table 6-2 list the most prevalent factors that influence the quality of power. Common causes for power quality issues with corresponding recommendations for corrective measures can also be found in the tables.
Important Any three-phase source, such as transformer or UPS, providing power to a DeltaV system must only power DeltaV products, safety systems, or the control system. Therefore, no VFDs, HVAC, motors, fans, compressors, ballasts, and so on shall be connected to any output phase of a transformer or UPS that is also used to power the DeltaV system.

A double conversion uninterruptible power supply can also mitigate most power quality issues. Isolation transformers are an excellent means to significantly reduce common mode noise, typically up to 750 KHz. The isolation transformer also allows for a separately derived source of power that creates a stable ground reference point in close proximity with the DeltaV system. Filters are a readily-available solution for normal-mode noise reduction in the range of a few hertz up to 10 MHz. Surge suppressor/filters are also available to prevent surge voltages from indirect lightning or large upstream power faults from damaging control equipment in addition to minimizing normal-mode noise. A power quality evaluation of the site can easily determine the best solution to meet your individual requirements. UPSs that supply power to control systems should be double conversion types. Typically, their input voltage is provided from low voltage (100 VAC to 600 VAC) feeders, with either
15
single or three-phase power. The AC power from the source is rectified to DC and used as leveling power to maintain batteries or to supply energy for a flywheel. The inverter stage produces the AC sine wave output using power from the DC storage section - batteries or a flywheel. Only use UPSs that reproduce high quality sine waves. Some UPSs produce modified sine waves that are rich in harmonics and detrimental to control systems.
Important Any UPS supplying power to the DeltaV system shall be of the double conversion type, with an inverter stage which produces harmonic free sinusoidal output waveforms. Never use a UPS that produces modified sine waves.
Most UPSs provide a degree of protection from power failure, power sag, and power surges. However, some UPSs provide an excellent solution for most of the power quality issues found in Table 6-2. A bypass transformer with static switchover allowing for UPS maintenance is either supplied as an integral component or can be connected externally to the UPS. When selecting the bypass transformer note that if the UPS used is the type which provides the cleanest power, then a shielded bypass transformer would be a better choice than a standard transformer. Some UPSs provide three-phase output power. When using a UPS with a three-phase output, all phases should be connected only to the control system and to non-interfering equipment. Never connect one phase to the DeltaV system and another phase to a VFD. Isolation transformers have been successfully used for many years to supply clean-power for control systems, medical systems, and computer centers. The Isolation transformer also provides a location to establish a separately derived ground. For a comparison of the attenuation benefits for the various degrees of shielding available see Table 6-3. In addition to the common-mode rejection provided by isolation transformers, many transformers can be purchased with filters on their output stage. The filter attenuates the normal-mode noise. Shielded transformers with filtered outputs provide noise reduction from a few hertz to up to 750 KHz in both common and normal mode. Table 6-3: Transformer attenuation
Type of shielding No shield Single shield Double shield Triple shield Attenuation ratio 10:1 1000:1 10,000:1 100,000:1 Typical attenuation 12 dB to 20 dB 50 dB to 60 dB 65 dB to 90 dB 90 dB to 120 dB
Most industrial applications share power with a wide variety of devices including large motors, furnaces, large lighting systems, and HVAC systems. Control applications that can tolerate disruptive events require little or limited consideration with respect to the Power Distribution Unit (PDU). However, if the application requires a high degree of consistent system integrity with minimal disruption, then the proper PDU should be used. Figure 6-1 is a tool to help determine the most economical and effective configuration for your site's AC power requirements with respect to interruptions and noise mitigation.

DeltaV power and grounding options

Topics covered in this chapter: S-series CHARMs SIS Multiple Distributed Enclosures: Power and Grounding Schemes Floating AC and high-resistance ground
DeltaV systems are certified as Separated or Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) systems. An SELV system is "an extra-low voltage system which is electrically isolated from the earth and from other systems in such a way that a single fault cannot give rise to the risk of electric shock."(1) Therefore, the DeltaV DC reference ground maintains a stable low noise reference for the DeltaV signal returns and DC power supply commons.
S-series
Power and grounding of the DeltaV S-series is connected in a manner similar to that of the M-series products. To convert AC power to the 24 VDC power required for products such as S-series system power supplies, CHARM I/O Card (CIOC), Safety Integrated System (SIS) products, and DC field power, a bulk power configuration as shown in Figure 7-1 produces a high-integrity solution. It is sometimes preferable to create a separate AC to DC panel that is only accessible by qualified electricians. If an S-series system only contains DC I/O cards, then field technicians can service the DeltaV panels without working near higher voltage AC sources. Typically, the 100 VAC to 230 VAC at 50 Hz or 60 Hz is supplied from power disconnect panels fed from double conversion uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) or through isolation transformers to the AC panel. A sufficiently sized disconnect is usually located prior to each bulk power supply. The two bulk supplies of Figure 7-1 are then fed into a dual redundancy module to power the DeltaV system bus. If one of the AC feeds fails or one of the bulk power supplies fails, the redundancy module shifts the load to the remaining power supply. However, the configuration of Figure 7-1 allows for the possibility of up to two separate single points of failure: the Dual Redundancy Module if only one DeltaV System Power supply was used as shown in Figure 7-2, then the single system power supply is also a single point of failure.
All configurations should be weighed from a cost-benefit perspective. Therefore, if the highest integrity S-series system is required the combination of a power panel as shown in Figure 7-3 with the redundant S-series system of Figure 7-4 should be used. The two-wide with redundant system supplies provides injected power allowing the maximum current for a total of 15 A on an S-series node.

CHARMs
Because CHARMs are typically used in remote locations they usually have dedicated local redundant power supplies. If CHARM I/O subsystems are powered from AC sources, the power must be very clean. This clean-power is usually obtained by isolation transformers located in close proximity to the CHARM cabinet. It may be advantageous to use UPSs or a combination of a UPS for the primary power and an isolation transformer for the secondary power. In addition to the UPS and isolation transformers, surge suppressors can be located just before each bulk power supply. Most power surges are assumed to originate from lightning. However, it is estimated that in an industrial environment 80% of disruptive surges originate from the industrial power and equipment. Figure 7-5 shows one of the highest integrity CHARM systems with respect to power and ground. The typical distance between the separately derived AC power source and the CHARM cabinet should be 100 meters or less. To greatly reduce any chance of interfering noise coupling into the powerfeed, use conductive metal conduit or armored cable between the separately derived source (UPSs or Isolation Transformers) and the CHARM enclosure.
Important CHARM extender cables DO NOT extend the shield bar from one group of baseplates to the next. Baseplate shields are connected to the Chassis Ground (CG) using 14 AWG wire from the Address Plug terminal connection or the end terminator connection point. If extender cables are used and shielded signal cables are located on baseplates on both sides of the extender cables, separate shield cables must be connected to the CG bar from each set of baseplates.

If the distance to the AC power source is short (less than a few meters); communication to the DeltaV controller is through fiber; and there is no galvanic connection to any other field devices, then the chassis ground and DC ground can be connected together inside the cabinet. This permits the use of one cable from the junction box (JB) to the next ground location. For example, if the optically isolated CHARM junction box (JB) is attached to the steel girder on a drilling rig with the transformers also mounted to the steel directly under the JB, then weld the ground bar to the steel close to the transformers to establish both a separately derived safety ground and a JB DC ground. It is also optimal to maintain a length of less than 100 meters for the shielded signal wires in addition to assuring that signal wires are not in close proximity to interfering sources.

A separately derived ground is maintained by the use of a DC/DC power converter. The DC/DC converter also assures criteria A is maintained as stated in IEC 60000-4-29.

The M-series SIS products are easily integrated into an S-series system by connecting the SIS adaptor module either to the right of the S-Series 2-wide carrier, after the S-series 8-wide carrier, or after the S-series left extender.

power supplies are combined through a redundancy module to feed the 24 VDC to one group of SLSs or SISNet Repeaters while two other AC/DC power supplies through another redundancy module provide the DC power for the SLSs or SISNet Repeaters partners (see Figure 7-11). Whenever possible it is preferable to run the 24 VDC positive and 24 VDC return together as a twisted pair. When the power is brought to the SIS panel as in Figure 7-11, both groups of DC returns may be bused together at the terminal blocks.

Any DeltaV system (M-series, S-series, or CHARMs) can be configured as shown in Figure 7-13. The highest integrity system has both UPSs located in the same area as all of the DeltaV enclosures. An equally high integrity configuration would have one UPS and one filtered isolation transformer in addition to surge suppressors in all of the enclosures. The ground bus-bar shown in Figure 7-13 and Figure 7-14 located just prior to the DIG only requires one conductor leading to the actual earth ground point. For example, on a multi-story building or platform, as the DeltaV grounds leave the floor, both the DC ground and chassis ground are connected to a common ground that is either welded to building steel or bolted using conductive grease on the bonding surfaces to building steel. The vertical ground run to the actual DeltaV instrument ground only needs to be a single cable sized as shown in Table 5-1 or Table 5-4. If the total length exceeds 300 feet then the 4/0 cable is adequate. In addition, if the DeltaV equipment is located in a multistory structure every other floor can be connected together.

When multiple enclosures are physically connected together and the highest ground integrity is desired as shown in Figure 7-15, then the chassis reference buses may be interconnected to each other. The DC ground buses are also interconnected. This method can be used for up to four adjacent bays. It is best to use a center bay for the interconnection between the enclosure structure and the external ground bus.

Figure 7-16 and Figure 7-17 show examples where multi-paired cables are brought to a DeltaV cabinet in a type of homerun cable with either conductive armor or metal jacketing.
CAUTION!
The overall conductive surface of metallic or armored cable must always be connected to the safety ground system in a DeltaV enclosure. Follow local codes and regulations.

Figure 7-17 represents a special case where an entire structure is considered to be at an equipotential. One example is a floating platform. Other reasons for connecting the shields as shown in Figure 7-17 are as follows: This maintains the separately derived AC power sources in close proximity to the enclosures (within 100 meters) The individual signal shield should not be in areas of high noise susceptibility, that is, not in close proximity to VFDs or in any lightning zone 0 or zone 1 without signal surge protection. The maximum distance from any enclosure to its corresponding external ground bar should be 100 feet.
Use Table 5-4 to determine the ground conductor sizing.
Floating AC and high-resistance ground

Removing the connection of AC ground to the dedicated DeltaV instrument ground also changes the way in which the AC power distribution system must be grounded. The AC power and grounding system can be designed with floating or high-resistive grounds (HRG), in accordance with applicable electrical codes. The DeltaV DC power must remain solidly grounded. The controller and I/O components are certified based on the prescribed grounding of the equipment.
Important DeltaV AC discrete I/O products are tested and certified for use with solidly grounded AC systems and should not be used on a floating or high-resistive ground. However, isolated AC channels are permitted.
42
The Emerson bulk power supplies are capable of providing up to 1500 VDC of isolation from the AC power source, and they must be installed per the manufacturer's instructions. AC power and grounding is governed by the applicable codes and regulations and is independent of the DeltaV DC power requirements.
Note If an HRG or a floating AC power is used to power a DeltaV bulk power supply, a Surge Suppression Device (SPD) with filters is recommended immediately prior to the bulk power supply. Important A re-strike transient is produced in many HRG systems which introduces a transient. This re-strike transient is generated from the system when a ground fault occurs in an attempt to isolate the leg with the fault. Use adequate filtering to preclude detrimental affects to DeltaV systems.

Grounding topologies
Topics covered in this chapter: Star or single-point ground Mesh star ground network Hybrid star mesh ground network
Equipotential ground: Every location within the grounding network is at the same potential voltage. This is the ideal solution for any grounded system. There are many grounding methods which work very well to achieve this goal. IEC 60364-4-44 Low-voltage electrical installations - Part 4-44: Protection for safety - Protection against voltage disturbances and electromagnetic disturbances is an excellent source for grounding topologies. When connecting ground cables excessive service loops should be avoided. The ground cables should be in as direct a path as possible. When crossing power lines, the separation should be as great as possible and at right angles to the power cables.
Star or single-point ground

DeltaV functions extremely well using a Star Grounding topology as shown in Figure 8-1.

Many control systems today are preassembled in structures with raised floors. This type of installation facilitates a mesh star ground system as shown in Figure 8-2. When connecting the DeltaV chassis ground to the mesh, the ground cable or ground straps should be as

short as possible. Mesh squares must be no less than two meters per side(1). All mesh crossings should be exothermically welded or tightly bolted, maintaining corrosion free joints with a typical Joint resistance of 500 (2). Figure 8-2: Mesh star ground network

Interference and transients
Appendix A Interference and transients

Topics covered in this appendix: Static (capacitive) coupling Voltage differentials Inductive coupling
Static (capacitive) coupling

Static coupled interference is the result of noise coupling to instrumentation and the signal's shield being in close proximity to the noise source. The following figure is a simplified illustration of two return paths on which capacitive coupled interference travels. The dashed return path through DeltaV represents the path noise takes when the shields are tied to the isolated instrument ground. The noise returns to the location where the chassis ground and DC ground is first connected to building steel. At that point a parallel path is established. Some current will travel through building steel with the remainder following the copper to steel, then to its source. Noise wants to return to its source following the path of least resistance. Steel is 10 times more resistive than copper However, due to the skin effect and the multiple paths in the steel, the path through steel is 4.5 time less resistive overall than the copper path.
Interference that is caused by static coupling is common in industrial applications. It occurs from noise originating from the commutation of motors; the rapid switching of SCRs and IGBTs when variable frequency drives recreate sine waves to control motor speed; and tooling such as welders. By connecting the shields to building steel, noise returns to its source more efficiently.

Voltage differentials
Voltage differentials occur as a result of many events common to industry, such as lightning, utility failures, and equipment failures. For example, if lightning strikes on one side of a structure and DeltaV signal wires travel into the area near the lightning stroke, then static coupling can be induced on signal shields even if the associated DeltaV enclosure is in a different part of the structure. Figure A-2 represents a fault at time equals zero that establishes a voltage differential in a facility.

Noise Elevation from Fault Building Steel Bonding Points
Plant Ground Grid DeltaV Instrument Ground Bonding Point
Typically, voltage differential faults that result from equipment failure, utility faults, or lightning create a transient signal which subsides with a type a diminishing ring similar to the gate function (sin(x)/x). However, the decay more closely resembles a zero order Bessel function. Since noise attempts to return to its source, the actual elevation in impulse voltage at one area establishes a differential with respect to more remote locations. Multiple paths through steel and copper grounds eventually equalize due to the heating (I2 R) losses throughout the numerous return eddy paths.
Inductive coupling
When signal wires are in close proximity to high current conductors, such as the down conductor on a lightning system, lightning strikes induce a current on its air terminal and possibly the signal conductors too. A voltage differential is established on the wire and ground system which dissipates through numerous eddy current paths as the induced interference attempts to return to its source. The most direct path is the one in which the shield is connected to building steel as close as possible. Industry example: A 55 KV precipitator used to covert ash into small pellets that can be collected was located at the top of a multistory chimney. The ground conductor was an exposed copper wire traversing the length of the chimney into the ground grid. This ground cable was also connected to building steel on every floor. A signal cable was run in parallel to the precipitator's ground wire, which caused a 90 VPP transient to be coupled onto the signal during the precipitation process. This coupling process was due to inductive coupling as shown in Figure A-3.

High integrity ground systems
Appendix B High integrity ground systems

Highest integrity systems have shields connected to chassis ground
Perform a cost/benefit evaluation when choosing the proper location to land the shield drain wires. There is a definite cost savings associated with connecting both the DC ground and the Chassis Ground (CG) together. This requires only one functional ground connection to the DeltaV Instrumentation Ground (DIG). If however, the highest integrity ground system yielding the least amount of disruptive events is required, then the shields should be connected to the CG for the following reasons: Noise wants to return to its source following the path of least resistance (refer to See Appendix A) Scientific evidence confirms that noise on shields connected to DC ground adversely influences system integrity. The Pin one problem first recognized by Neil Muncy and documented in his 1994 Audio Engineering Society paper has been confirmed in multiple studies. Although this issue has been of particular concern to audio engineers, the conclusion applies to all engineering disciplines including control systems. Various standards recommend that shields be connected to enclosure or chassis ground: PROFIBUS recommends connecting shield drains to case ground. Connecting shields to chassis ground provides equalization; mitigates interference currents; ensures compliance with EMC regulations; and should be installed with regard to the requirements of high frequency currents. Profibus Technical Description Sept. 1999. ANSI/ISA-RP12.06.01-2003 Recommended Practice for Wiring Methods for Hazardous (Classified) Locations Instrumentation Part 1: Intrinsic Safety requires that shields be connected to equipment or chassis ground.
Equipment manufacturers are continually designing products to be smaller, with less weight, and at an increased savings. This has led to products operating at higher frequencies resulting in electrical components, such as indictors and transformers, being much smaller. Emerson has been and will remain a leader in providing a power and grounding solutions for controlling equipment designed for today's adverse environments as well as unforeseen future applications.
