All conduit bodies, boxes and fittings shall be made watertight, dust tight
and galvanized steel conforming to UL 514B, Conduit, Tubing and Cable
Fittings. The terminal box on the module shall be designed for long-term
outdoor operation in harsh environments with an opening for replacing the
cable if necessary.
Grounding wire shall be made of bare copper stranded, soft drawn wire
and shall be installed in one continuous length without splice or joint. Ground
rods shall be made of copper-clad steel of not less than 20 mm diameter x 3 in
in length driven in full length into earth. The size of the ground rod and ground
wells shall be as shown on the Plans and the resistance shall not be more than
5 ohms.
All conductors and grounding size shall not be less than the indicated
sizes as shown on the Plans.
Conduit entry shall be at the top and bottom. A directory holder shall be
provided inside the panel and ground lug for ground wire connection.
Nameplate of laminated plastic shall be attached by means of stainless-steel
rivets or permanent adhesive showing panelboard number.
624.2.10 Circuit Breakers
All circuit breakers shall be plug in and thermal magnetic type, manually
or electrically operated as required with ratings and capacity as shown on the
Plans and shall be in accordance with UL 489, Molded-Case Circuit Breakers,
Molded-Case Switches and Circuit-Breaker Enclosures.
