●
One copper, standard barrel 2-hole compression grounding lug, type LDC, equivalent to Panduit
part number LCD4-14A-L or Thomas & Betts part number: LCN4-14

Appropriate grounding wire for your system, based on the available input current for the power
supply:
■
For AC systems using a 20A breaker per PSU (SSI AC), the chassis ground can be as small as
14 AWG.
