PE grounding resistance of distribution box

Home / PE grounding resistance of distribution box

The enclosure can be used to connect devices to the ground, in particular auxiliary power supply, PLC, and ULP modules, when the resistance between the protective conductor (PE) and all the metallic parts of the enclosure is 0. While both systems aim to prevent electric shocks and safeguard equipment, their working principles, implementation, and safety. Proper grounding is necessary for electrical devices for different reasons, but why do we do it? My first bad experience with electricity was an electric shock from an AC wall outlet. I don't remember much since this happened when I was a child, but I do remember touching the outlet and my body. 26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. It ensures the safety of equipment and personnel while providing a reference point for electrical systems.
