In designing its industrial workstations, mk has followed all applicable standards and regulations, for example DIN EN ISO 6385 (Ergonomics principles in the design of work systems).
Earthing and Protective Conductors
If industrial workstations are electrified (e.g. lighting, electrical sockets, etc.), DIN VDE 0100- 410 specifies that all of a workstation’s conductive components must be connected together and with the protective conductor of the supply line so that protection against electric shock is ensured in the event of a fault. Connecting the profiles with angles and ESD nuts, sometimes known as PE nuts, ensures conductivity throughout the entire workstation. If the workstation is electrified after construction, this means that the protective conductor has to be connected to the workstation in only one location to provide earthing.
Earth Terminal
The earth terminal is used to connect the protective conductor to the industrial workstation to ensure protection against electric shock. This also protects sensitive components against electrostatic discharge.
