Grounding of the units: Attach a ground wire from one of the threaded studs (A) at the bottom of the housing, to the mounting plate (B). The ground resistance between. Abstract: System grounding considerations affect many aspects of an electrical system. The voltage, system arrangement, loads connected, and continuity of. Power from factory ground must be installed by a qualified electrician. Each DISTRIBUTION BOX and controller must be grounded. 26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. It can also be an aid to all engineers responsible for the. Grounding is a mechanism to protect distribution equipment and people under normal operating conditions, abnormal operational (overcurrent and overvoltage) responses, and hazardous conditions such as shocks. Grounding is necessary to assure correct operation of electrical devices, to assure safety. This Grounding Standard describes factors affecting the ground resistance and the method of measuring ground resistance of Distribution installations. It also describes the methods for improving soil resistivity.
