Home / Installation of grounding post on the outer casing of the distribution box

Attach a ground wire from one of the threaded studs (A) at the bottom of the housing, to the mounting plate (B). In outdoor or industrial electrical environments, the metal casing of the ip65 stainless steel enclosure must form a complete conductive circuit. 26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. Today, we're diving deep into the world of distribution box grounding, breaking down the standards, and shining a light on those sneaky mistakes that even experienced electricians sometimes make. It takes the incoming power and safely distributes it to different circuits throughout your building.
