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 33 - 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.
