Connect the Grounding Conductors to the Ground Bus
Connect the equipment grounding conductors (functional and protective
earth ground) directly from each chassis to an individual bolt on the ground bus.
Figure 14 - Ground Bus Connection
Connect Ground Bus to Grounding-electrode System
Use a grounding-electrode conductor to connect the ground bus to the
grounding-electrode system.
At minimum, use 8.3 mm2 (8 AWG) solid or stranded-copper wire rated at
90 °C (194 °F) or greater for the grounding-electrode conductor to guard against
EMI. The National Electrical Code specifies safety requirements for the
grounding-electrode conductor.
