Equipment Ground Wires Sample Clauses

Equipment Ground Wires. When lightning strikes, it takes the path of least impedance (resistance and inductance). Cable bends increase inductance. Therefore, equipment ground wires should be large, and run straight for minimum inductance and voltage drop. The recommended bending radius is 6" when bends are unavoidable. Equipment ground wires should be separated from all other conductors, and should not be run through metal conduit unless the conduit and ground wires are bonded at both ends.
