Installing CAP MXs
Grounding the CAP MX
1 Connect an earth-bonding cable to the grounding bolt connections on the outside of the CAP MX chassis,
as shown below.
2 Loosen the M6 hex nut(s), and then connect the
earth-bonding cable between the two washers as
shown to the right.
3 Secure the earth-bonding cable by tightening the M6
hex nut(s) that you loosened in the preceding step.
Torque the hex nuts to 11 N-m (100 in-lbs).
4 Connect the other end of the earth-bonding cable to a
suitable permanent ground per local electrical code
practices.
5 Follow the steps in "Connect the CAP MX Cables” on
page 52.
The CAP MX must be provided with a permanently connected protective earthing conductor. This
conductor must be installed by a skilled person.
Do not use the grounding bolts to connect an external device.
The grounding conductor must be a dual-lug terminal.
