Home / Each distribution box is equipped with a grounding device

Grounding device: to ensure the safety of circuit equipment grounding and prevent grounding faults from causing safety accidents. The design and configuration of the distribution box depends on the power demand and safety standards. 26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. The grounding system provides a low-impedance path for fault current and limits the voltage rise on the normally non-current-carrying metallic components of the electrical distribution system. 7 Provide conduit grounding bushings, bonded together and connected to the equipment enclosure on all incoming and outgoing conduits on distribution switchgear and switchboards, distribution panels and on all conduits over 1-1/4" diameter at all panelboards, pull boxes and equipment.
