Grounding an electrical panel is pretty straightforward. It involves three essential parts: a ground rod, a grounding wire, and the electrical panel. First, you drive a metal rod, usually made of copper, into the ground. This is the ground rod. Then, a copper grounding wire connects the electrical panel to the ground rod.

Learn MoreThe first introduction to grounding for control panels explains a few of the general conditions for requirements on grounding. First, panels must have a way to ground all metal components that could be contacted by a person (pretty much all of them).
It is this overcurrent protection rating that determines the grounding conductor size (Chapter 15.1 / Table 15.1). Table 15.1 lists the specific size for each current, from a minimum of 15 amps, providing a wire no smaller than 14 AWG (for copper) and 12 AWG (for aluminum).
Additional rules for the grounding and bonding of industrial control panels include the sizing of ground conductors and the conditions that dictate when power supplies and transformers must be grounded. Understanding grounding and bonding for industrial control systems is no simple task.
In this article, we will outline the key grounding standards and requirements, including grounding resistance specifications, installation guidelines, material selection, and construction and inspection processes. The grounding resistance of electrical systems must be within certain limits to ensure safety.
Most likely, your ground wire length actually is below that value, but using this number, the total current in the ground circuit is only 325 amps, barely enough to trip the breaker. Based on this knowledge, you can see how important it can be to properly size the conductors.
It involves connecting electrical systems and equipment to the ground to achieve the same safety and operational objectives. Grounding includes establishing a connection to the Earth through grounding conductors, grounding electrodes, and grounding conductive paths.
