Hi Ken,Yes, this is is regarding safety, we are not seeing EMC issues on
previous design.This is something I didn't consider because of the door size
(~3ft x 7ft) and weight (about 30 lbs) and the depth these spring-loaded
captive “finger” have to be.

Re: [PSES] Removable door panel groundingI’m just curious why something like a
spring-loaded captive “finger” couldn’t be in contact with the door/plate when
installed. I’m assuming here the grounding is for safety, not EMI. In the
latter case, the gasket approach is necessary. Also, for safety I don’t see
the gas-tight spot as an issue: a little corrosion or “gunk” between plate and
finger would break down in the event of a line-potential fault to the
door/access panel.

I would find a way to keep the ground conductor connected but maybe consider
ground studs at opposite corners so it has little slack when closed but allows
the panel to be set aside without disconnecting the ground.

Hi Frank,
Can you do a longer ground that allows moving the cover to the side? In my
experience it is risky to design a system where the ground is routinely
disconnected. If you need to design it that way, I recommend using a braided
gasket that is partially compressed when the panel is installed. You’ll need
the panel and gasket plated so that there is no corrosion that would increase
the contact resistance since this arrangement can’t be considered gas-tight.

Hi All,
In the past we have typically done a stud and nut grounding for removable
lift-off access panels, but this is an inconvenience to disconnect the ground
cable.
What are other methods for grounding large panel doors (3ft x 7ft) if any?
