15 Ground busses in switchgear and motor control centres (control Gear) and all other electrical
equipment shall have two Connections to the main ground electrode.
16 Metallic enclosures for switchgear and motor control centres
(Control gear) and all other electrical equipment shall be
Connected to a supplementary grounding electrode when not
Bolted to grounded structural steel.
17 Frames of switchgear and control assemblies and all other
Electrical equipment shall be connected to an equipment
Grounding conductor or, where permitted, the grounded
Conductors. (NEC 490.36)
18 System grounding connections shall be made directly to the main ground electrode.
