Hi all,
Have nearly finished my Brutus look-alike (with mods of course) and I have an electrical question. My control panel and wiring is enclosed in an insulated panel but the wiring for the pumps and solenoids goes out to the items on the frame. Despite searching through the threads, I can't seem to find any mention of what people are doing with regards to earthing/grounding the frame? To prevent any possibility of short circuiting to the frame and creating a electrocution danger I suggest it might be wise to have a wire from the earth terminal block to the frame at some point.
Has anyone done this and does anyone see any problems with this?
Note: I am not an electrician (obviously) but I do enjoy good beer!
 
It cant hurt. If you have the resources you should bond it to earth.
