Important Safety Information
In the event of an electrical short circuit, a
ground wire reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
Standard accepted color coding for ground
wires is green or green with a yellow
stripe.
Grounding wires and wires colored like
grounding wires are NOT to be used as
current carrying conductors.
