Grounding of cable tunnel distribution box

Home / Grounding of cable tunnel distribution box

Attach a ground wire from one of the threaded studs (A) at the bottom of the housing, to the mounting plate (B). 26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. The grounding system provides a low-impedance path for fault current and limits the voltage rise on the normally non-current-carrying metallic components of the electrical distribution system. When lightning strikes or a rogue voltage surge decides to crash the party, proper grounding steps in like a seasoned bouncer, redirecting danger away from.

Annex I

The cables going out of the cable trays shall be also protected with a fire-wrapping envelope along the whole path (up to the sensor/actuator), except if they are installed inside a metallic conduit, and the
