Loto or ground

[bure961]

When loto a 480volt circuit would putting your load wires to ground be a added safe method. I was thinking this was not done with low voltage.
Does anyone know for sure either way ?
Thanks for replies

my personal opinion is that is is something that is unnecessary. there is only so far that is both practical and useful to go in being safe. at some point you end up making the safety procedures so onerous that they become counterproductive at enhancing safety.

It is not required for <600V in most cases, more often than not your fault current is going to be higher than any grounding cable (Clamp specifically) you will find so it is a moot point.
