Ground Wire Connections

The cabinets are connected to the single-point ground with #6 AWG copper wires. (Building ground requirements are described in Preinstallation Requirements in this section.)

Warning: The cabinet power switches must be set to off.

1.In 2- or 3-cabinet systems, connect a #6 AWG wire between the ground blocks of Cabinets 1 and 2 and Cabinets 1 and 3.

2.Connect a #6 AWG wire between the ground block of Cabinet 1 and the single-point ground. (See Figures 2-9and 2-1 3.)

2.Connect the receptacle end of a 3-wire power cord to the plug at the rear of each cabinet.

3.Connect the power cord’s plug end to the quad ac outlet for each c a b i n e t .

4.Recheck the electrical and ground connections.

Danger: Once power is applied, do not put your hands or any tools into the cabinet.
