Connectors for Equipotential Bonding
performs the equipotential bond by creating
a high-quality electrical contact between the panel chassis and
the earth conductor.
The module frames are made from aluminium which is either
anodized or surface treated in some other way. These surface
coatings protect the frame against corrosion but are not
conductive.
Thanks to the range electrical contact with
the aluminium of the panel is provided either by:
✔ Drilling/tapping, for models with screws secured by the
thread pattern, or
✔ Bolting, using a toothed lock washer which abrades the
surface coating when tightened.
The connection is secured by tightening the earth connector
with a max. cross-section of 25 mm². If using a conductor with
insulation, a length of 30 mm must be stripped.
