iRelay 460 Equipment Installation Guide 3 Connecting and Managing the Cables 3.1 Fitting the Protection Earth Cable 1. Connect an earthing cable to the screw fixing point on the main body casting of iR460. The earthing cable must be connected to a protection ground bar or clamped directly to the steel structure of the power or pole. Typically, protective earthing is required in areas of high lightning activity or when the iR460 unit is mounted on high, exposed roofs or tower structures.
