Each distribution box must be repeatedly grounded

Home / Each distribution box must be repeatedly grounded

26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. 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. Safety of Personnel: By safely channeling fault currents into the ground, proper grounding helps to reduce the risk of electric shock to personnel. All the power sources mentioned above, except Static Power Converter, are magnetically operated devices with windings.

Grounding Paper

Effective grounding, or earthing, of the distribution system neutral is necessary to achieve several objectives, the most important of which is the safety of the public and utility personnel.
