3.11 Grounding the Units
Warning
Read the instructions in their entirety before starting installation.
•
Pipe straps shall not be used for grounding purposes. Ground connections and lugs shall be the best commercial
type.
Ground the Primary and Secondary units by connecting a No. 6 bare solid copper wire at the earth ground lug provided
inside the cabinets and route the wire through the conduit to the grounding rod. The ground resistance shall not exceed 25
ohms with the power feeder neutral disconnected. If necessary, additional ground rods shall be installed and interconnected
to obtain the required resistance. The ground wires shall be connected to the ground rods by either an exothermic process
(Erico Products Corporation, Cadweld, Burndy Corporation, Thermoweld or equivalent) or by brazing.
3.12 Cabinet and Remote Control Wiring
Refer to the guidelines below when wiring the cabinet and the remote control.
For L-849 REILs, install interconnecting power and control wiring (AWG 16 minimum, 600 V) between terminal block TB1 in
each cabinet. See
.
•
Make remote control circuitry connections (AWG 16 minimum, 600 V) to Primary terminal block TB1 in both cabinets. See
for L-849I series circuit powered applications. See
for L-849V voltage powered applications.
Note
When the current sensing option is used on L-849V REILS, remote control is not possible and TB1 terminals 4
through 8 are not used.
•
Check for proper installation and firm connections.
