Configuration 1:
Recommended grounding of SE41 RPN with combination meter and load center
1.
Install a #2AWG tinned solid copper site ground wire (grounding electrode conductor)
originating at the closest driven ground electrode and connect it to the Load Center AC
Equipment Ground (ACEG) bus (
refer to Figure 1
).
Note:
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.
2.
Route a length of #2AWG tinned solid copper conductor from a junction point on the
grounding electrode conductor (GEC)and connect to the Enclosure Master Ground Bar (MGB)
using an appropriate compression two-hole lug (
Refer to Figure 1)
.
Note:
Avoid tight radius bends and route the conductor such that it intersects with the GEC at
a downward orientation as illustrated in Figure 1.
3.
Connect the other end of the conductor to the GEC via an irreversible compression
connector or exothermic weld.
