6.2 CABLE & EXTERNAL GROUNDING
6.2.1 For cable with shielding, remove a
section of the outer sheath 180
⁰
around the cable by 1.0” in length
measured from the end of the outer sheath in order to expose cable shielding. See photo 121.
6.2.2 For grounding, press ground bar into slot in closure. If using Inline configuration, install inline ground bar
and secure with bolt. See photo 122.
6.2.3 External ground connection is to be placed in designated location.
The ground wire is to be secured using
the same bolt that is used to secure the cable retention assembly or secured with bolt. See photo 123.
Caution:
Do not use braided or stranded ground wire when installing a ground through a port on the
Mini-OTE 300 closure. A solid ground wire is required to prevent a leak path and make a proper seal.
