Installation Manual 28 Document #: LTRT-59811
MediaPack Series
The MP-124 chassis is equipped with a protective earthing screw. Ensure that you connect
this to the grounding point using a suitable wire. Fasten the cable securely using a 6-32
UNC screw.
Note: Proper grounding is crucial to ensure the effectiveness of the primary protection
devices against power surges. Therefore, both the primary protector and the MP-124 must
be connected to the equipotential ground bus (in electrical switch board) that is connected
directly to the grounding of the foundation reinforcement conductor.
Before installation, loop-testing grounding measurements must be done by a certified
electrician to verify the quality of the grounding connection. The grounding impedance must
not exceed 0.5 ohm.
The figure below illustrates the connection method for grounding and lightning protector.
