for all Standard Wall mount and Floor mount enclosures mounting to fulfill Seismic
Requirements
For NEMA 12 enclosure types, liquid tight conduit and fittings shall be installed to
maintain the enclosure integrity.
GROUNDING
All field wiring shall be copper and have a minimum insulation rating of 75  C (167  F).
Size grounding conductors according to local and national codes.
Each panel contains a grounding bus with provisions for connecting a field-grounding
conductor.
All panels/enclosures must be grounded.
Grounding methods must comply to local and national codes.
POWER WIRE
(Greater than 120 VAC)
All field wiring shall be copper and have a minimum insulation rating of 75  C (167  F).
Size all wire based on panel nameplate current ratings in accordance with local and
national codes. Do not use the cable sizes listed in DET - 609 & DET - 610.
All power wiring must be routed away from other wiring. Avoid running power wiring
parallel to other wiring without a minimum separation distance of four (4) inches.
