Re: Wire prices

["Petem" <petem001@xxxxxxxxx>]

Olson is right,even if you use plastic box,you need to put a ground in the
grounding lug...

you must be asking why, a so crazy thing..

its because,even if you use plastic box the ground wire need to connect to
every metallic part of an electric system,that is not carrying power,so the
metal on a switch,or an electric plug,or on a metal cover on the plastic
box, they all need to be grounded,its the damn code that say it must,so by
putting a ground lug,that connects to the hole where you screw your device
or plate on the plastic box you respect the code,the ground wire is there to
protect your life,not to just help copper wire company sell more wire....But
if its your life,just yours,not any other,I would be in favour of not
putting any ground wire to any electrical system that you could touch....


I you would have a minimum understanding of any electrical code you would
know that...
