Chapter 5: Power up

General grounding requirements

Note:
Grounding requirements differ widely from country to country. In addition to the grounding
instructions presented in this section, you must follow the local electrical installation codes
for your location.
Two safety grounds are required to ensure safe operation of the Branch Gateway: the ground
conductor that is part of the AC power cord, and the field-installed green/yellow conductor
referred to as the Supplementary Ground Conductor. Both safety grounds must be connected
to an approved ground. If a power cord accompanies the Branch Gateway, use that cord
whenever possible.

Attaching the ground wires

Place the ring terminal of the 10 AWG (4.0 mm
on the ground screw that was provided in the accessories box.

Ground block

A ground block, supplied by the customer and installed by an electrician, is available for use
when you are installing multiple Branch Gateways . The ground block, intended for rack
mounting, has ten terminals available for terminating Supplementary Ground Conductors. Up
to ten Branch Gateways can be grounded at the block installed close to the equipment (on a
rack) and then a single ground conductor can be routed from the same block to an approved
ground.
