Operating Power Installation
may be connected to this circuit.  In addition, this circuit must be provided with overcurrent protec-
tion and may not contain any power disconnect devices.  An Earth Ground connection must be 
made to ensure proper panel operation and lightning and transient protection.  Connect the Earth 
Ground wire [minimum 14 AWG (2.00 mm
2
)] to the grounding stud in the backbox and then run 
the wire to TB1.  Do not use conduit for the Earth Ground connection since this does not provide 
reliable protection.
