Grounding the ePDU
The ePDU is grounded through the input plug and an M6 ground screw is provided for auxiliary rack grounding.
Conductors can be connected to the ground screw for functional grounding or bonding of ungrounded metal
parts within the rack. The grounding screw is sized to safely conduct the fault current of the single largest output
breaker. There is no paint on the screw or the chassis surface to ensure contact with bare metal instead of a
painted surface. The ground symbol is impressed in the chassis above the earth bonding screw.
To ground the ePDU, connect a grounding cable (not supplied) from earth to the grounding screw shown in
Figure 25 and Figure 26. The internal diameter of the ground strap ring is M6 (6 mm).
