control panel earth point

(OP)
hello
Is it allowable to use suitably sized brass earth stud
as main earth point and attach all (10off) earth cables to to this point as well as incoming earth cable.
french company the panel was supplied to,  say it is against french law and earth bar should be used with individual connections earth connection.
thanks if you can help

RE: control panel earth point

I would object to 10 wires on one terminal.  Ground bars are common for control panels.

RE: control panel earth point

We use bars or studs depending on the client but never have more than three wires on each connection point.

I certainly wouldn’t have ten wires on a single stud so I’d suggest you put some extra studs or a bar in
