NEC Article 110.3 is "Examination, Identification, Installation and Use of Equipment."
The grounding of all electrical equipment is very important. So much so that it is an electrical code rule required in any electrical installation.
Systems for distribution of electricity (supplier's transformers, substations, etc.) Equipment of motor vehicles (except caravans, mobile units) Equipment on board ships Equipment on board aircraft Equipment of fixed and offshore installations (oil rigs, etc.) Mines and quarries Lightening protection systems Radio interference supression equipment Electrical equipment of machines
Electrical equipment shall be so positioned that it 1) it does not impair the function or safety of other equipment, 2)it is readily accessible for installation, 3)replacement, 4)operation, 5) testing, 6) inspection, 7) maintenance and 8) repairs. 9) all parts of the installation shall be accessible without the need to enter any adjoining premises.
This is really a local code question. Your best bet is to call your local building inspector and ask.

The work of the electrical officers in ship is to maintain and repair electrical and electronic equipment, and to carry out installation of machinery on a board ship.

As the neutral point of an electrical supply system is often connected to earth ground, ground and neutral are closely related. Under certain conditions, a conductor used to connect to a system neutral is also used for grounding (earthing) of equipment and structures. Current carried on a grounding conductor can result in objectionable or dangerous voltages appearing on equipment enclosures, so the installation of grounding conductors and neutral conductors is carefully defined in electrical regulations. Where a neutral conductor is used also to connect equipment enclosures to earth, care must be taken that the neutral conductor never rises to a high voltage with respect to local ground.
As with every electrical code around the world, the primary objective is the safe installation of electrical equipment that is connected to the electrical grid. Overall the objective is keeping everyone and everything safe in conjunction with the use of an electrical supply source.
The specifics of this are found in Article 430 of the National Electrical Code.
There are several electronic equipment stores that may sell electronic enclosures. Stores like home depot may also sell electronic enclosures.
