Ground on service panel

[Ryan Stouffer]

Are you allowed to ground tv equipment on a service panel?

Thanks

Ryan,

Did you take a photo closer up and viewing from the bottom up to it?

It is required to be grounded to the grounding electrode system.

Also, that whatever-it-is-ground-fitting looks like it will interfere with the opening of that door.

[Ryan Stouffer]

No, I did not. But that opening is how you access the service conductors. I was able to open and close without much difficulty. The ground is for the cable tv as far as I can tell.

Ryan,

Those things are a pain in the neck. Like JP said, they are often installed so the cover cannot be opened. I recommend removing the clip and attaching directly to the grounding electrode system.

Gunnar, thanks.

Which is where it is supposed to be connected anyway, and what I thought I said???

<Sigh>

OK... I'll modify it.

Ryan,

Those things are a pain in the neck. Like JP said, they are often installed so the cover cannot be opened. I agree with Jerry about attaching directly to the grounding electrode system.

Is that better Jerry? :rolleyes:

Gunnar,

THIS is the part I was talking about: :p

I *was just wondering* if the way I worded it was not as clear as the way you worded it. :confused:

JP,

I think it was just similar to the "last man in" theory. I said it last, therefor I said it.
