[QUOTE="cgw59, post: 666137, member: 328327"] Hi All, It is vital that all non insulated equipment is properly earthed no matter what it is connected to. This is to prevent a person being in a position where they may be able to touch an "Earthed" item and a "Non Earthed" item, for example if a cable which is not connected directly to earth were to be removed and a fault occur in the connected equipment then when a person would try to reconnect the cable to an "Earthed" switch etc then they would form part of the earthing circuit and could suffer fatal injuries. Be safe and ensure that all equipment is earthed and if possible switch off any source of electrical supply prior to attempting work on any item capable of carrying electrical current. Electricity is like a wild animal in zoo, fine when it's in the cage (insulator)but it [B][U]WILL[/U][/B] kill if you let it out !! [/QUOTE]
