This position is the connection point of the grounding wire in the. How to make proper & safe electrical ground wiring connections in the box: This article describes options for connecting a metal electrical box to the grounding conductor & connecting the grounding conductor to a fixture such as a ceiling light or ceiling fan. However, it is always easy to overlook grounding aspects, or to fix them incorrectly. Often, the electrical enclosure will perform as usual with incorrect grounding, though will result in a danger. The grounding system provides a low-impedance path for fault current and limits the voltage rise on the normally non-current-carrying metallic components of the electrical distribution system. During fault conditions, low impedance results in high fault current flow, causing overcurrent protective.
