The grounding wire provides a safe path for electrical current to flow to the ground in case of a fault, such as a short circuit or equipment malfunction. It is essential for protecting both people and equipment from electrical hazards.
To attach the grounding wire:
- Place the wire under the side of a screw.
- Tighten the screw to hold the wire in place securely.
Ensure the connection is tight enough to maintain contact, but do not over-tighten; over-tightening could damage the wire.
It is important to note that the wire does not need to be fully threaded through or positioned entirely under the screw. It only needs to be securely fastened so the current can flow safely along the structure.
