How do you ground an enclosure? Grounding an enclosure made of metal, such as a box, or other equipment, involves connecting it (bonding) to the earth using an equipment grounding conductor. Next, connect it to a grounding electro conductor. Finally, connect it to the grounding electrode. This is the conducting element connection to the earth.

People also ask if 2 ground rods are required.

For about 10 years, MA has required 2 8' grounding wires at least 6 feet apart. NEC 250.56 is used where resistance must be less than 25 ohms. You can also use an underground metal waterpipe located on the street side, with a length of 1 rod and a diameter of 1 meter.

Is it possible to install an electric meter on my own?
