26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. 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. 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. A correct understanding of the basic principles involved will help him/her to avoid mistakes in grounding system design.
