Installing the Equipment
Grounding Conductor (PE)
Bus Splice 1. Verify that the following splice hardware is present:
2. Position one busbar splice in front the discontinuity in the PE bus.
Reference Figure 5.9.
3. Note: When you look into the front of an MCC, the PE bus is located
behind the TE bus.
4. Align the two elongated holes of the busbar splice over the two holes
bordering the discontinuity in the PE bus.
5. Fasten the busbar splice to the PE bus, from the front, using
thread-forming screws.
Note: If the system has a 3000 Amp-rated power bus, repeat steps 2
through 4 to install a second busbar splice. The two splices should be
installed such that one splice spans the upper half of the PE bus; the
second splice spans the lower half.
