[RE-wrenches] Ground mount wire shielding

[Dave Palumbo]

Andy,

 

Contact me off list and I'll send a photo of what we do. This is something I
came up with to comply with Article 690.31. No guarantee your AHJ will like
it. I shared this on list last year, nothing really new. We don't drill into
module frames, but use the aluminum mounting rack to fasten plastic lattice
(white in color, available from Lowe's) cut to sizes needed. Inspectors I
have showed this to here in Vermont like it. 

 

Dave

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Ground mount wire shielding

 

Hi, I'm Looking for products or techniques that have been used as a raceway
for wire protection on the back of a ground mount array. The local AHJ is
not accepting a fence. We are required to cover or shield our USE module
wiring below 8'.  Side question: if we directly attach (self tappers) a
raceway to the module frame, does that void the module warranty? The modules
do not have J-boxes. 

 

Thanks,

Andy Tyson
