Grounding connection between conduit and distribution box
Attach a ground wire from one of the threaded studs (A) at the bottom of the housing, to the mounting plate (B). Grounding is a conductive connection, intentional or accidental, between a circuit or electrical equipment and the ground or some conductive object acting as the ground. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this comprehensive guide will give you practical insights into proper grounding techniques, with a special focus on how selecting quality materials from a reliable building material supplier impacts your entire system's safety and longevity. This helps to reduce the potential difference that exists between conductive parts and the earth. Equipment Protection: Grounding protects substation equipment from potential damage from lightning strikes, fault currents, and transient overvoltages. 26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used.
