• Use a dedicated earthing plate (e.g. dynaplate) in contact with
the water.
• Ground cables may be routed to a common point (e.g. within the
switch panel. With a single (appropriately rated) copper braid
connecting to the earthing plate.
• Use flat tinned copper braid, 30 A rating (1/4 inch) or greater.
Equivalent stranded wire diameter 4 mm or greater.
• Keep the length of the earth braid as short as possible.
