B-LINE GS816 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Eaton B-Line GS816 grounding strap used for?
The GS816 is a grounding strap for control enclosures that have to meet C.S.A. requirements. It bonds the enclosure door or panel back to the enclosure body so the whole assembly stays at the same potential once the door is opened and closed. Eaton catalogues it as a grounding device, and it is UL Listed.
2) How long is the B-Line GS816 grounding strap, and what wire size is it?
The GS816 measures 16 inches and uses a .25 inch diameter conductor. The 16 inch length is what decides whether it reaches from your door hinge side to the bonding point without straining when the door swings, so measure that run before ordering.
3) Is the GS816 UL Listed for use in a control panel enclosure?
Yes, the GS816 grounding strap is UL Listed, and its stated application is control enclosures carrying a C.S.A. requirement. For an inspector looking at a panel bonding jumper, that listing plus the Eaton part number GS816 is what goes on the submittal.
4) Do I need a bonding strap like this on an enclosure door, or is the hinge enough?
A hinge is a mechanical joint, not a reliable ground path, so where a control enclosure has to satisfy a C.S.A. bonding requirement you run a dedicated jumper. That is exactly the role of the GS816: a UL Listed grounding device sized at 16 inches so it flexes with the door instead of relying on hinge continuity.
5) Is the Eaton GS816 a single strap or a kit with hardware?
Eaton lists the GS816 as a drop shield kit, supplied as one orderable part number under MPN GS816. Total weight is .072 lb, so plan on a light bonding jumper assembly rather than a heavy braid.
