1.3.3 System Grounding

The performance and safety of any power conditioning system depend on proper grounding.

Figure 12 shows the typical grounding arrangements for the Liebert FPC.

Equipment Grounding

Equipment grounding is primarily for safety. Correct implementation of grounding also enhances

equipment performance. All power feeders must include equipment grounding means as required by

the NEC and local codes.
An insulated ground conductor is recommended to be run in each feeder conduit. Ground conductors

must be at least the minimum size per NEC Table 250-66. Larger wire sizes may be used for

increased system performance.
If the input power feeder conduit is used as a grounding conductor, adequate electrical continuity

must be maintained at all conduit connections.

!

CAUTION

Using isolating bushings in a metal conduit run can be a safety hazard and is not

recommended.
