The enclosure has a chassis and the terminal block has a grounding socket with an opening for receiving a fastener. The grounding system can include a mounting bracket configured to be coupled to the chassis of the enclosure. The grounding system can further include a grounding tab coupled to the mounting bracket. The grounding tab can including a proximal portion and a distal portion. The distal portion of the grounding tab can be configured to at least partially extend into the grounding socket of the terminal block such that the fastener passes through the opening in the grounding socket, contacts the grounding tab, and grounds the electrical equipment wired to the terminal block.
