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.

Thank you and best regards.

 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.
 
Best regards,

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?
