RIVO OPTICALSPLICE CLOSURES Technical Inquiry

Metal casing grounded and connected to distribution box

To safely ground a metal box, connect an equipment grounding conductor (typically a bare or green insulated wire) from the box to the main electrical panel's ground bus bar. For example, for High And Low Voltage Distribution Cabinets, the distribution box needs to be grounded regardless of size. This pathway diverts fault. Understanding how to ground metal electrical box components is not just about following code—it's about protecting your home and family. This guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions for beginners. Each DISTRIBUTION BOX and controller must be grounded. 26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used.
