GROUND WIRES FROM DIFFERENT CIRCUITS IN SAME BOX

How to connect multiple ground wires to the distribution box

How to connect multiple ground wires to the distribution box

Attach a ground wire from one of the threaded studs (A) at the bottom of the housing, to the mounting plate (B). When done, that will leave me needing to tie six (12-gauge) ground wires together: One to each load, one to each switch, one to the ground screw on the box itself, and one coming in from the subpanel. I'm using metal box has two ground screws, can I wrap around one ground wire (from supply side) on one of ground screws then connect it to the outlet and connect another ground wire (or two wires ) going to the next box (es) on the secondary ground screw? I know pig-tail method is probably better. Sometimes if I have a 3 or 4-gang plastic nail-on switch box that has a bunch of NM cables, when I'm making up the box rather than using a big blue wire-nut for my grounds I'll separate the grounds into 2 groups and use red/tan wirenuts instead, especially if there's 2 circuits in the box.

What happens if there are too many ground wires in the distribution box

What happens if there are too many ground wires in the distribution box

NEC specifies that the number of wires, including the ground wires, should not exceed the box's fill capacity. On a 2-wire or 3-wire single-phase acsecondary distribution system, groundingconnections are made on the secondaryside of the transformer and on the side ofthe service disconnecting means. That's how I do it, all grounds in same box connected together, but not under same wirenut or crimp sleeve if too many for wirenut or crimp sleeve, just a single conductor matching size of largest conductor in box between the two groups.
