One example is DIN rail mount terminals, you can get them with automatic ground to the enclosure, they are half green, half yellow, and are intended for such cables that also include a ground conductor.
The ground in this instance is through enclosure bonding, but also pays to take a single correctly sized one to the star point also.
This is the method I have used for over 50yrs.
