Folks,

I am going to have a steel frame for my stand alone power supply to be drop=
ped on the ground out in the elements.

I was planning to weld a stainless bolt to the mild steel frame to provide =
a corrosion resistant point of connection.

I am getting a lot of push back on this.

What are other folks do to create a connection for a system grounding elect=
rode conductor on a piece of equipment like this?

Thanks,

Mark Frye
