Panduit UGB-IN-SO Universal Ground Bar Insulation Kit

Overview

The Panduit UGB-IN-SO is an insulation kit designed to isolate universal ground bars from the mounting surface. This accessory is critical in data center and network rack deployments where proper grounding and isolation are required to prevent ground loops and ensure equipment safety. It specifically addresses the need to mount a ground bar without establishing an unintended electrical connection to the rack chassis, which could compromise system integrity or introduce noise.

Compatibility

This insulation kit is designed for use with Panduit's Universal Ground Bars (UGB series). It provides the necessary non-conductive barriers to ensure the ground bar is electrically isolated from the rack or cabinet it is mounted within. Specific compatibility extends to any rack or cabinet where the Panduit UGB series ground bar is installed and requires electrical isolation from the structure.

Installation Notes

Installation involves placing the insulating components between the ground bar mounting points and the rack's vertical mounting channels or cabinet frame. Ensure all insulating surfaces are clean and free of debris prior to mounting. Torque specifications for mounting hardware should follow the guidelines provided with the associated Panduit Universal Ground Bar (UGB series) to ensure secure attachment without compromising the insulating properties.
