Product Information
Installation Guide and Benefits of the 17762 Ground Wire Kit
The eConnect® Ground Wire Kit provides a ready‑to‑install solution for creating a reliable external ground connection on power distribution units. Designed as a complete ground wire kit, it includes a heavy‑duty ground strap and all necessary mounting hardware to secure the connection quickly and safely. This exterior ground wire product is engineered to meet stringent grounding standards across data center and industrial environments. All components are fabricated from corrosion‑resistant materials that maintain conductivity over the long term, ensuring the grounding wire kit remains effective in harsh conditions. The kit's hardware is compatible with the full range of CPI power distribution units, allowing seamless integration without additional modifications. By using the same ground wire accessories across multiple enclosure types, installers benefit from reduced part inventory and simplified procurement. Installation follows a three‑step process: attach the ground strap to the designated grounding point, connect the strap to the PDU chassis using the supplied hardware, and verify continuity with a calibrated tester. The procedure is documented in CPI's technical guide, which emphasizes safety checks and proper torque values. Because the kit is pre‑configured for exterior application, field engineers can complete the installation in minutes, minimizing system downtime. Deploying this grounding wire kit enhances equipment protection by directing fault currents safely to earth, thereby reducing the risk of electrical fires and component damage. It also helps facilities achieve compliance with national and international grounding codes, supporting audit readiness for certifications such as UL and IEC. The reliable connection improves overall system stability, which is critical for high‑performance computing and AI workloads. CPI provides extensive support for the eConnect® Ground Wire Kit through its global network of authorized distributors and technical specialists. Customers can access detailed datasheets, installation videos, and on‑site assistance to ensure optimal performance. The kit's design reflects CPI's commitment to quality, rapid customization, and world‑class service, delivering a trusted solution for today's demanding infrastructure projects.
