Distribution box switch door not grounded

Home / Distribution box switch door not grounded

Attach a ground wire from one of the threaded studs (A) at the bottom of the housing, to the mounting plate (B). If you've ever found yourself scratching your head over whether that metal door on your distribution cabinet really needs a grounding wire, you're not alone. In factories, construction sites, and even commercial buildings, this question pops up all the time. 26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used.
