Each distribution box and controller must be grounded by a qualified electrician. In the US, a 10 AWG (5.26 mm²) ground wire is required, while in other markets, a 6 mm² wire is standard. The grounding system should connect the box to a mounting plate, which in turn connects to the factory central grounding point, ensuring a total ground resistance of less than 0.1 Ohm .
In modern electrical systems, cable distribution boxes (also known as electrical distribution boxes or distribution
