IRING
The following guidelines are recommended when installing panels at a facility and making field connections.
1. Connect a safety ground to the panel. A copper post is provided for this.
2. Wiring must enter the enclosure through conduit entries. All conduits must be terminated at the enclosure
by use of appropriately rated conduit hubs or glands.
3. Avoid routing AC and DC wiring in the same conduit in order to minimize the disruption of DC and analog
voltage circuits by line voltage transients and surges.
4. Wiring must comply with all local electrical codes.
