Using a megger-type Ohmmeter, measure the main cable shield resistance to manhole ground. The resistance
must be 5
Ω
or less.

If the Ohm requirement is not met, ground the main cable shield every 2,000 ft.

ONNECTIONS
Each of the four slots in the enclosure has both pins 1 and 27 connected to chassis ground. This allows them to
support 400/200 mechanics plugs which use either pins 1 or 27 for their chassis ground connection.
If the main feeder cable’s shield is bonded to the stub’s shield, the green insulated or bonded
stub shield wire, shown in
, should be disconnected from the metal card
cage base. This is recommended to reduce service affecting noise from being injected into the
doubler circuits from circulating ground loop currents, and to help inhibit corrosion.
