all that stuff is already grounded, to ground a plastic box is just plain
silly.

| 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...
