Grounding of the indoor distribution box casing

Home / Grounding of the indoor distribution box casing

Attach a ground wire from one of the threaded studs (A) at the bottom of the housing, to the mounting plate (B). The equipotential bonding of its metal casing is the underlying logic that ensures the reliable operation of the system. 26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. Today, we're diving deep into the world of distribution box grounding, breaking down the standards, and shining a light on those sneaky mistakes that even experienced electricians sometimes make. However, it is always easy to overlook grounding aspects, or to fix them incorrectly. Often, the electrical enclosure will perform as usual with incorrect grounding, though will result in a danger.
