Install and Connect Multi-Carrier Cabinets
Install Coupled Bonding Conductor Wires
This is a conductor that connects to the single-point ground block and run adjacent to pairs in an associated cable. The mutual coupling between the CBC and the pairs reduces potential differences in terminating equipment. The conductor consists of a 10 AWG (#25) (6 mm 2) wire terminated at the CBC ground terminal bar at the Main Distribution Frame (MDF).
- At the DC Power Cabinet, connect a 10 AWG (#25) (6 mm 2) ground wire to the Ground Discharge Bar. See Typical Power and Ground for a DC-Powered Cabinet.
- Route the 10 AWG (#25) (6 mm 2) ground wire to the CBC ground terminal bar at the MDF. Be sure a minimum of 12 in. (30.5 cm) spacing is maintained between the CBC and other power and ground leads.
- Tie wrap the ground wire to the inside wiring cable.
