Thread: High Frequency Ground on back of 200DX

    Default High Frequency Ground on back of 200DX

    Hi Guys, just wondering as I am getting everything lined up for the arrival for my 200DX. I have the tungsten, the argon, the 50 amp 220 volt service, and filler rod for steel but, I'm not sure how to handle to High Freq. Bolt on the back of the machine. My 200DX will be on a cart and be mobile in my shop, not that it's that big but, how am I going to ground this baby and still keep it mobile.
    What did you guys do with yours? Did you just not worry about grounding it or did you figure a way to make it work?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    That's just a chassis ground same as the one in the power cord. It's only purpose is to allow a shorter path to ground than the power source, if you have trouble from the HF feedback. I don't use it and the HF doesn't bother my computers. Ignore it unless you have problems. If you do have any problems (doubtful) come back and tell us and we'll come up with a solution... just my 2 cents and experience.
