Selecting the Correct Ground Kit
TGL1
Select TGL1 when the compatible equipment requires a 7-terminal ground kit with four small and three large termination positions.
TGL2
Select TGL2 when the installation requires a larger 14-terminal ground kit with eleven small and three large termination positions.
TGL20
Select TGL20 when an add-on ground kit lug is required for the compatible equipment configuration.
TGL3
Select TGL3 for the listed 7-terminal ground kit configuration with four small and three large termination positions.
Grounding Function
Equipment Grounding
The kits provide dedicated termination points for equipment grounding conductors within compatible electrical assemblies.
Multiple Conductor Sizes
Small and large terminal positions allow compatible grounding conductors of different sizes to be accommodated within the same kit.
Add-On Capability
TGL20 provides an add-on ground lug option for compatible applications requiring an additional grounding termination point.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is TGL1?
TGL1 is a 7-terminal ground kit with four small and three large terminal positions.
What is TGL2?
TGL2 is a 14-terminal ground kit with eleven small and three large terminal positions.
What is TGL20?
TGL20 is an add-on ground kit lug.
What is TGL3?
TGL3 is a 7-terminal ground kit with four small and three large terminal positions.
What is the difference between TGL1 and TGL2?
TGL1 provides seven terminal positions, while TGL2 provides fourteen terminal positions.
What is the purpose of the large and small terminals?
The different terminal sizes are intended to accommodate compatible grounding conductors of different sizes within the ground kit.
Can I select the kit based only on terminal count?
No. Also verify compatibility with the exact panelboard, enclosure, mounting location, and conductor requirements.
Does a ground kit replace the neutral bar?
No. Equipment grounding and neutral functions are separate and must follow the approved electrical system configuration.
