Installations where no grounding conductor is provided must comply with article
250-32 of the National Electrical Code. If the installation in question meets all of the
requirements of article 250-32, the following guidelines must be observed:
· Connect the grounding electrode cable at the local disconnect, never at the
display power termination panel.
· A disconnect that opens all of the ungrounded phase conductors should be
used.
· The neutral and the ground conductors should be bonded in the display
power termination panel.
