Grounding requirements

  • The building installation must provide a means of connection to protective earth.
  • The equipment must be connected to that means of connection.
  • A service person must check whether the socket-outlet from which the equipment is to be powered provides a connection to the building protective earth. If the outlet does not provide a connection, the service person must arrange for the installation of a protective earthing conductor from the separate protective earthing terminal to the protective earth wire in the building.
