- Clause
- AS/NZS 3000:2018 Cl 5.5.3.2(b)
- Dahilan
- Earth the screen at the end where the cable leaves its switchboard or accessory. One earthing point leaves no closed path through the screen. No current then circulates in it, and no hum loop forms.
- Kinakailangang continuity
- Oo
- Screen construction
- Foil at braid
- Tala sa construction
- Overall foil with a tinned copper braid over it. The catalogue puts this construction against both low-frequency and high-frequency interference. Manufacturer data, not a standard. Source: HELUKABEL Industrial Ethernet Cables, SF/UTP ranges.

How this is calculated
The tool reads AS/NZS 3000:2018 Clause 5.5.3.2 for where a cable screen, drain wire or armour is earthed. It then states what that choice does to hum loops and touch voltage.
- Role. You pick what the metal does, such as an EMC screen.
- Clause case. The tool matches your role, your earthing need and your double-insulation answer to a case in Cl 5.5.3.2.
- Arrangement. It gives the earthing arrangement for that case. For an EMC screen against hum, this is one end, at the origin.
- Continuity. It reads Cl 5.5.4.3 for the continuity the screen needs. The screen and its fittings stay continuous.
- Concern. It states the effect on your concern. One earthing point leaves no closed path through the screen, so no hum loop forms.
- Construction. It adds the catalogue note for the screen type. This is maker data, not a Standard.
| Step | Table or clause | What it decides |
|---|---|---|
| Arrangement | AS/NZS 3000 Cl 5.5.3.2 | Where the screen is earthed |
| Continuity | Cl 5.5.4.3 | The screen and fittings stay continuous |
| Construction note | HELUKABEL and LAPP catalogues 2024 | What the screen type acts against |
Worked example
A foil and braid EMC screen with a hum loop concern. The tool gives one end, at the origin, from Cl 5.5.3.2(b). Continuity is required.
Limits
- The tool gives the safety arrangement of AS/NZS 3000. It does not give an EMC design.
- No document the tool holds backs earthing both ends for EMC. Check the device maker guide or IEC 61918.
- The gland advice is an AmpSize recommendation, not a requirement.
- The tool does not check the current rating of the screen.

Mga tanong
Design aid ang resulta. I-verify ito laban sa kasalukuyang standard.
Saan naka-earth ang cable screen?
Binabanggit ng AS/NZS 3000:2018 Clause 5.5.3.2(b) ang originating end at hindi nagtatakda ng bilang ng earthing points. I-earth ang screen, armour o sheath na kailangang i-earth kung saan lumalabas ang cable sa switchboard o accessory nito. Walang binabanggit na both-ends arrangement ang standard, kaya walang ibinibigay ang tool.
Pinipigilan ba ng earthing sa isang dulo ang hum loop?
Oo. Kapag isang earthing point lang, walang saradong daan sa screen, kaya walang current na dumadaloy dito at walang nabubuong hum loop. Ang pag-earth sa screen sa dalawang punto ang lumilikha ng daang iyon.
Kailan hindi kailangang i-earth ang screen?
Ang Clause 5.5.3.2(b) ay may dalawang exception. Ang una ay nangangailangan ng double insulation sa pagitan ng screen o braid at ng live conductors. Kailangan din nito ng non‑conductive covering sa ibabaw ng cable. Dapat malayo sa live at exposed na conductive parts ang bawat joint at termination. Ang ikalawa ay sumasaklaw sa anumang kasong hindi saklaw ng Clause 5.4.1.
Puwede bang maging earthing conductor ang screen?
Oo, sa ilalim ng Clause 5.3.2.2(ii), na may isang kondisyon mula sa Clause 5.3.2.3(b). Bawat live conductor na nagpapakain sa equipment ay dapat tumakbo sa parehong cable na iyon. Hinihingi rin ng Clause 5.5.4.3 ang continuity, at impedance na tumutugma sa copper earthing conductor.
Saan galing ang payo sa screen construction?
Mula sa HELUKABEL at LAPP catalogues. Manufacturer data iyon, hindi standard, at ganito ang label ng tool dito. Ang braid ay pangunahing laban sa low-frequency interference at ang foil ay laban sa high-frequency interference. Termination hardware ang sakop ng mga catalogue. Wala sa kanila, at wala rin sa AS/NZS 3000, ang sumusuporta sa both-ends arrangement.
