Requirements for the grounding cable for additional protective grounding

  • The conductor must be solid or stranded or finely stranded wire. If finely stranded wire is used, the conductor must be double-crimped with a ring terminal lug. Make sure that no insulated conductor is visible when pulling or bending. This will ensure sufficient strain relief by means of the ring terminal lug.

  • Cable cross-section: 10 mm² (6 AWG)

  • The cables with regards to their ampacity, rated temperatures, operating conditions and power loss must be made in accordance with the local standards and the National Electrical Code® ANSI/NFPA 70.
