2.4 Grounding the NGC
The NGC8206 must be properly grounded. The NGC has a grounding lug on the
mounting neck of the enclosure. This lug should be tied to a good earth ground
with no smaller than 12 AWG wire. The NGC8206 cannot be connected to any
pipeline where cathodic protection exists. If the system uses cathodic protection,
the NGC must be mounted on a section of pipe that has been electrically isolated
from the cathodic currents (see
