4.4 Grounding Connection
Groundingresistanceof100Ωorlessis
necessary. When the optional code A is selected,
groundingresistanceof10Ωorlessshallbe
required.
In case of TIIS explosion proof type, grounding
resistanceof10Ωorlessisnecessaryforclass
A grounding terminal.
Groundingresistanceof100Ωorlessis
necessary for Functional grounding terminal.
For explosion proof type except TIIS, follow the
domestic electrical requirements as regulated in
each country.

Improper grounding can have an adverse effect
ontheowmeasurement.Ensurethatthe
instrument is properly grounded.
Theelectromotiveforceofthemagneticowmeter
is minute and it is easily affected by noise, and
the reference electric potential is the same as that
o
fthemeasuringuid.Therefore,thereference
electricpotential(terminalpotential)oftheowtube
and converter also need to be the same as that of
themeasuringuid.Moreover,thepotentialmustbe
thesameastheground.Themagneticowmeter
is equipped with a grounding ring that makes a
connectionwiththechargeofthemeasureduid
forgroundingandprotectsthelining.Theowmeter
shouldbegroundedbycertainspecications
(groundingresistanceof100Ωorless,or10Ωor
less) according to Figure 4.4.2.
Grounding is mandatory especially for insulated
piping such as PVC-sheathed pipes. If not, the

Moreover, grounding is also mandatory in the
simultaneous outputs of current and pulse. If not,
theowmetercausesalargemeasurementerror
because the outputs interfere with each other.
