A new blog from Chatsworth Products, Inc. (CPI) highlights the 8 essential components to a successful grounding and bonding implementation.
According to CPI, the key components include:
1. Grounding busbar: Provides a central ground attachment point for equipment located in the data center or equipment room.
2. Compression lugs and taps: Connect copper or tinned copper conductors to busbars, racks, cabinets, cable runways or other conductors.
3. Two-mounting hole ground terminal block: Provides a convenient way to attach ground wires to racks or cabinets.
4. Ground wire and jumpers: Insulated conductor connects equipment, racks, cabinets, pedestals and pipes to the rack and grounding busbars.
5. Rack busbars: Consolidate equipment grounds on racks and cabinets.
6. Pedestal clamp with grounding connector: Connects raised access floor pedestals to the grounding busbar or supports bare ground wires to make a signal reference and grid.
