What grounding, RCD and surge protection should a used LED screen have?

Customer question: Does a used LED display need a new grounding and protection review?

English explanation

Yes. Reusing the display does not mean the new site’s electrical protection is automatically suitable. The cabinet, metal structure, controller rack, distribution board and building equipotential system need a reliable protective-earth path designed under local rules. Do not use a signal shield, a thin improvised jumper or a random screw as protective earth. PE and neutral have different functions and must not be joined inside the display without an approved design. Review RCD/RCBO selection, leakage current, circuit allocation and nuisance-trip risk. LED power supplies and long cable runs can create normal leakage, but a trip must never be solved by bypassing protection. Outdoor, temporary-event and long-distance power systems may need a surge-protection review. SPD selection, location, backup protection and earthing connection should be confirmed by the electrician. Keep evidence: distribution-board photos, earth-bonding photos, circuit labels and test records. Stop repeated resets after a protection event and record weather, recent work and the affected zone. Before any cabinet or internal connector work, fully isolate and verify power.

Service boundary

Grounding, protection and surge design are site electrical work. Technical support can provide equipment information but cannot replace local electrical approval. —
