7.5 GROUND LUG & WIRE INSTALLATION

Install grounding lugs on the end of the top and bottom rack rails as described below:

1. Referencing the figure below, align grounding lugs with the end of both rack rails.

2. Install grounding lugs at the end of both rack rails and ensure the ground clips are between

the bottom of the ground lugs and the top of the rack rails. Torque the fasteners

to 97 in-lbs. (11Nm).

3. After installing a grounding lug on the end of both rack rails, use a properly gauged ground

wire (e.g. 6 – 4 AWG) to connect the rack rails to ground.

4. Finish assembling the EG4

BrightMount Adjustable Cat1 by using the cable clips provided

to clean up the cables and secure them to the frame.

NOTE:

As shown in the image above, it is highly recommended that both the top and

bottom rack rails be grounded to earth using grounding lugs.

NOTE:

Each grounding lug must have a grounding plate. Ensure the grounding plates

are installed between the bottom of the grounding lug and the top of the rack

rail. This will ensure proper grounding of all solar panels.
