Grounding the PDU
Connecting the Ground Bonding Cable
Per international regulatory requirements, the primary Safety Earth Bond connection is
contained in the PDU as an integral part of the branch circuit cabling and plug. There is
an external ground bonding point located on the chassis of the PDU. The ground
bonding screw is provided as an attachment point for conductors. Use a ground bonding
cable if the rack contains any conductors for functional grounding or bonding of
ungrounded metal parts. This bonding point can also be used to bond the PDU to a
known earthed reference terminal in the building. The ground bounding point is located
on the surface with the receptacles on all PDUs except for the dual-sided models.
These models have the ground bounding point on the surface with the circuit breakers.
Bond Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to grounding strip or grounding bus bar.
