Grounding resistance requirements for outdoor cabinets
Using a Megger-type ohmmeter, measure the resistance between cabinet ground and ground rod(s). The resistance must be 25 ohms or less. If the ohm requirement in Step 2 is met, proceed to Step 4. If a single Ground Rod doesn't get you to 5 ohms or less, consider putting in multiple ground rods or even a Halo System. Rods should be spaced no less than 8' -10' (depending on rod length) from each other. IN ELECTRICAL STATIONS INCLUDING TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION SUBSTAT GR THAN 8 FT FROM THE FENCE. THE FENCE SHALL BE GROUNDED SEPARATELY FROM THE GRID UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED ON THE A PROPRIATE PROJECT DRAWING. SEE APPLICATION. Grounding the cabinet is a safety measure that prevents static electricity from accumulating on the metallic surface, which could otherwise discharge a spark and ignite the flammable vapors present. Exothermic welds shall be coated against corrosion where direct buried. Materials of. Correct grounding of services depends upon understanding the definition and role of the grounded conductor. Equipment grounding: everybody's favorite topic.
