Installation
8.5.3. Exterior earthing circuit
The installer or end user must provide appropriate safety
measures to prevent dangerous step and contact voltages,
in compliance with local safety regulations for electrical
installations.
The installation project must include the section for
implementation of the earthing installation, along with
justification of its sizing.
The conductors' braided wire cross-section, the terminals'
contact surface and tightening torques will be suitable for a
fault current delimited by network protections.
The recommended tightening torque for electrical
connections in the earthing network is shown in the
following table:
