@@Builtbypete Thanks. I think I would rather use just a regular combiner block for ground that didn't have metal feet to the din rail that would pass overflowing current thru in the event of an overage to a dedicated ground wire to earth ground.
Normal service currents do not flow through the din rail. However the din rail can be used as a fault current path with earth terminals that connect to the DIN rail. For most projects, normal din rail is more than big enough to serve as a protective conductor. However, I have seen some high current earth terminals that come with warnings that special din rail is needed.
These look great. I might give them a try.
Nice video, thanks. So if there is a ground fault the current would flow to the din rail?
Thanks. I think given the way the earth blocks screw down to the rail you would be right.

Are the Din Rails carrying current if you use in an AC application?
No. The live and neutral are isolated from the rail with the connectors I used.
