How to ground the current in the distribution box

26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. Safety of Personnel: By safely channeling fault currents into the ground, proper grounding helps to reduce the risk of electric shock to personnel. This helps to reduce the potential difference that exists between conductive parts and the earth. Preparation: First, you need to prepare some necessary tools, including grounding wire, grounding rod, voltmeter, insulating gloves and insulating tools.
