3.9 Ground Bus Splice Connections<br />

Ground bus splice kits are provided by the switchboard manufacturers when<br />

more than one section is required to be electrically connected (see Figure 6).<br />

Proper installation of ground bus splice connections is essential to providing a<br />

low-impedance path to ground for temporary current resulting from phase-toground<br />

faults.<br />

a) Splice kits may come in separate boxes, be installed on the ground<br />

bus of one or more sections, or be stored inside the switchboard<br />

sections.<br />

b) Follow the proper sequence of hardware installation, as specified in the<br />

manufacturer’s installation instructions. Install conical washers such<br />

that their convex side is against the nut.<br />

c) Torque the splice bolts to the recommended value. Mark each torqued<br />

connection with a permanent marker.<br />

3.10 Grounding and Bonding<br />

3.10.1 Ground systems – service-entrance switchboards and<br />

switchboards used on separately derived systems<br />

NEC Section 250.64 describes complete grounding requirements for grounded<br />

separately derived systems.<br />

a) Run a grounding electrode conductor from the grounding electrode at<br />

the installation site to the grounding electrode conductor connection,<br />
