Grounding on the door of the distribution box

Home / Grounding on the door 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). If you've ever found yourself scratching your head over whether that metal door on your distribution cabinet really needs a grounding wire, you're not alone. In factories, construction sites, and even commercial buildings, this question pops up all the time. 26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. When inspecting the interior of a stainless steel outdoor electrical box distribution box, pay attention to the copper or tin-plated terminals on the base plate or side walls. There is a hole enabling you to bolt it to an appropriate backpanel or enclosure stud. Earthing or grounding provides a safe path for fault currents to dissipate, preventing electrical shocks and fires. Preparation: First, you need to prepare some necessary tools, including grounding wire, grounding rod, voltmeter, insulating gloves and insulating tools.
