I need information on how to terminate medium voltage cables (4160v) at the supply side and at the load side. Also what to use for equipment ground.

The cable we are using is shielded and the thing i need to know is if i need to ground both ends or just the supply side. If so what do i do with the other end?. Where in the NEC do i get the size for the equipment ground?. is it just based on ampacity?.alfonso1900 said:I need information on how to terminate medium voltage cables (4160v) at the supply side and at the load side.

what about shield currentes when both ends are grounded and the tempereture increase due to this currents?
Triplexed cables often contain EGC, otherwise size you EGC based on the main conductors ampacity.
