The Unirac Code Compliant Installation Manual, on Page 25, shows that you should use two grounding clips between modules, at every other space between modules. Ironridge recommends that you specify one grounding clip for every two mid-clamps.
I'm curious why we can't use only one grounding clip for every four mid-clamps. This would allow us to ground two modules to one rail, then use grounding lugs to take the ground from rail to rail.
Do these manufacturers suggest you use an extra grounding clip for redundancy, or is there an actual electrical need to double up the clips?
Thanks for all your help!

The reason for this is that the AWG equivalent of one WEEB penetration is wire gauge 12, which is too small for a UL compliant ground. 2 WEEB penetrations are equivalent to gauge (AWG) 6, which is equal to or greater than the required gauge 8.
