Grounding an ACS R6.0 3

[chevyman1]

Why is it necessary to ground the processor (the ground lug) of an ACS 6.0 when you are getting ground from the AC plug?

For that matter any of the Partner products.

The reason had something to do with a scenario involving the AC power cord being unplugged and the telephone lines. I'm not sure of the exact wording.

A few years ago, a post was submitted that covered a potential problem if a ground wire is connected to the processor. Here is the link:

if the manufacturers engineers put a ground lug in I use it

The ground connection is for SAFETY and IS REQUIRED!

See the installation manual from support.avaya.com and NEC article 800 for more info and proper wiring practices.

Hope this helps!

Thank you all for your suggestions. The discussion that Dexman refers us to is quite helpful.
