Step Action
1 Slide a paper punch between the plastic
wrap and the grounding
shield at the
bonding clamp mounting location on the first cable (see Figure 4-3 on page
4-18).
2 Punch a hole in the center of this area, 1-inch down and 1/2-inch across.
3 Punch a hole through the sheath of the flap in the center of this area, 1-inch
down, 1/2-inch across.
4 Slip the threaded end of a bond clamp between the plastic
wrap and the
grounding
shield and then up through the punched hole on both cables.
5 On both cables, place the bond clamp cover plate over the threaded stud and
then against the cable.
6 On both cables, secure the bond clamp to the cable with one of the threaded
nuts.
7 Using electrical tape, tape two inches above and below the bond clamp.
8 Cut a 12-inch (30.48 cm) piece of braided grounding cable for the cable and
attach a 1/4-inch ring lug to each end.
9 Attach a braided grounding cable assembly to the bond clamp and secure it
with one of the threaded nuts (see Figure 4-4 on page 4-19).
10 Securely tape the bonding clamp and cable sheath at the butt using electrical
tape.
11 Secure the other end of the braided grounding cable to the cabinet grounding
bar in the termination compartment.
