I ran three #8 wires (80')to a main shutoff which contains two 30amp cartidge type fuses for the hot and the neutral, grounded the fuse box casing, and placed another electrode in. Grounding is a mechanism to protect distribution equipment and people under normal operating conditions, abnormal operational (overcurrent and overvoltage) responses, and hazardous conditions such as shocks.

Each DISTRIBUTION BOX and controller must be grounded. Grounding of the units: Attach a ground wire from one of.
