  • How to connect the grounding wire of a relay protection device

    How to connect the grounding wire of a relay protection device

    The grounding of the assembly must be done with a wire, a tab and a bolt attached through a separate hole from fixing screws. System grounding Ground or earth provides a common return path for electric current in an electric circuit. It is created by connecting the neutral point of an installation to the general mass of the earth or a chassis. Grounding is needed for electric safety and it also creates a reference point.
