Appendix B: UL 2703 Grounding
PanelClaw components within the array are required to be electrically bonded to other DC grounding
paths via the use of either #8 or #6 AWG Cu bonding jumpers and a UL 467 listed Tyco solid wire
grounding assembly, part number 2106831, manufactured by Tyco Electronics Corporation. The ground
path follows through the Tyco lug, Ballast Tray, Support, Claw and into the module frame. The module
frame’s anodization is broken via the through-bolt connection at the module mounting holes, which is
secured with a serrated flange nut. The bonding continues through the module frame to the adjacent
Claws as shown below.
