5.3 (Step 6) Grounding Installation and Inspection
Grounding materials used for the node consist of #2 AWG BCW tinned-ring solid copper wire
leading from the ground lug on the right rear section of the node to the grounding buss bar. The
grounding wire crimps on a double lug lead going from the buss bar to a grounding ring via a
Cadweld (exothermic) ground ring. A typical ground ring consists of eight foot long stainless
steel ground rods which are 5/8” diameter. Although each site will be designed for that specific
site installation.
