2.2.1 Enclosure Grounding

NOTE: Alpha Technologies recommends using the grounding method illustrated

on the following page. The grounding method for a particular site will be

dependant upon soil type, available space, local codes, NEC (National

Electric Code), and other site-specific characteristics.

NOTE: Alpha Technologies recommends 5 ohms minimum ground resistance

(25

ohms per NEC)

between enclosure and ground rods, in accordance with

IEEE 1100-1999 Powering and grounding Electronic Equipment.

NOTE: Alpha Technologies assumes no responsibility or liability for failure of the

installer to comply with the requirements of all applicable local and national

codes. Where allowed, exothermic welding may be used as an alternative

to Burndy clamps and connectors.
