Make the ground connection, following one of the methods
described below, depending on whether a ground rod is installed:
With ground rod
Solder the frame ground connection to the 6 AWG frame ground
rod run vertically on each side of the rack. Use one of the following
methods for connecting the wire from terminal F of the terminal
block to the 6 AWG rod.
• Crimp an appropriate-size spade lug to the ground wire from
the terminal block, bend the lug around the 6 AWG rod, and
solder.
• Strip enough insulation from the ground wire from the
terminal block to permit three complete turns around the
6 AWG rod, and solder.
Note:
When soldering, use a 25 watt soldering iron to ensure the
6 AWG rod is heated sufficiently to prevent a cold solder connec-
tion.
Without ground rod
Crimp an appropriate-sized spade lug to the wire from terminal F
of the terminal block, and secure the lug to a screw hole on the
rack. Remove the paint, and sand the area around the screw hole,
to ensure proper conductivity.
