Configuration 2:
Recommended Grounding of SE41 RPN with Remote AC Service Disconnect located
within four feet of the SE41 cabinet
Objective:
Install a
continuous
length of #2AWG tinned solid copper conductor originating at the ACEG bus in the remote
service disconnect enclosure and have it terminated at the Enclosure Master Ground Bar (MGB).
Steps:
1.
Connect the #2AWG tinned solid copper conductor to the ACEG bus in the remote service
disconnect enclosure and then to the ground rod nearest to the Enclosure MGB.
2.
Terminate this Grounding Electrode Conductor (GEC) to the Enclosure MGB using an
appropriate two-hole compression lug (
refer to Figure 2).
Note:
Avoid tight radius bends.
It is recommended that all buried grounding connectors are 12”
below finished grade line or below the frost line.
For below grade connections, crimp or
mechanical connectors may be used instead of an exothermic weld provided they are listed
for direct burial applications.
