Panel Earth Ground Connections
In order for the lightning transient protective devices in this product to be effective, the designated earth ground
terminal (terminal 30) must be terminated to a good earth ground. Recommended wire gauge for the ground
connection is #16 AWG; run no farther than 30 feet. The following are examples of good earth grounds available at
most installations:
• Metal Cold Water Pipe: Use a noncorrosive metal strap (copper is recommended) firmly secured to the pipe to
which the ground lead is electrically connected and secured.
• AC Power Outlet Ground: Available from 3-prong, 120VAC power outlets only. To test the integrity of the ground
terminal, use a three-wire circuit tester with neon lamp indicators, such as the UL-Listed Ideal Model 61-035, or
equivalent, available at most electrical supply stores.
The panel requires the earth ground connection for its lightning transient protection devices.
