Question: Is it necessary to separately link the two earth bars on the Memshield 2 or 3 TP distribution boards?

Answer: On the Memshield 2 or 3 Type 'B' three-phase boards, it is NOT necessary to link both earth bars (left- and right-hand) together, as they are already sufficiently connected via the case of the enclosure. Each individual bar is fastened to the case via an earthing strap, and hence to each other via the case.
