Read MoreHome / Does the industrial power distribution box need to be grounded
26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. Grounding of the units:The National Electric Code (NEC), Article 250, contains specific requirements on the grounding of electrical power systems and equipment. Grounding is covered in greater detail in HSB's Recommended Practices for Grounding of Commercial. A single grounding failure in your industrial facility can trigger catastrophic equipment damage, production shutdowns, or worse—fatal electrical accidents that were entirely preventable. The topic of system grounding is extremely important, as it affects the susceptibility of the system to voltage transients, determines the types of loads the system can accommodate, and helps to determine the system protection requirements.
