To comply with standard IEC/EN 61800-5-1:
• use a protective earth conductor with a minimum cross-sectional area of 10 mm

Al (as an
alternative when aluminum cables are permitted),
or
• use a second protective earth conductor of the same cross-sectional area as the original protective earth
conductor,
or
• use a device that automatically disconnects the supply if the protective earth conductor is damaged.
If the protective earth conductor is separate (that is, it does not form part of the input power cable or the input
power cable enclosure), the minimum cross-sectional area must be:
• 2.5 mm

when the conductor is mechanically protected,
or
• 4 mm

when the conductor is not mechanically protected.
