Grounding Paper

By being connected in parallel with the customer distribution service entrance ground, any existing water system grounds will greatly reduce the effective ground electrode resistance of the average customer

DISTRIBUTION BOX

Each DISTRIBUTION BOX and controller must be grounded. On the US market, a 5.26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used.

Grounding Practices in Power Distribution Systems

High-Resistance Grounding (HRG): To provide a safe amount of ground fault current, HRG systems employ a high-resistance grounding resistor. This approach keeps the system running even when
