    In Australia .6/1kV is generally adopted to be used to indicate the voltage rating of a cable. The first number indicates the voltage rating of the insulation to ground and the second number indicates the voltage rating from one insulated conductor to another insulated conductor. Generally if...

    Earth bonding

    I agree with brianR and in addition its a good idea to earth bond the metallic framework. In case of fault current situation, by bonding the earth frame, the fault current will follow through the Earth Fault loop (low impedence loop), thus tripping the Circuit breaker if used in MEN system. In...
