Hi all,
I am putting together an external RIMS setup and need some help please on how to add a ground wire correctly.
In summary, I'm going to connect a piece of 1" stainless pipe to two 1" x 1/2" stainless couplings and wrap this with a silicone heating band. I'll put some fibreglass header wrap around the whole thing for insulation.
The silicone heating band is 250W and 240v (I live in Singapore so this is fine) and is wired with live and neutral only. The manufacturer of the silicone heating band sent me a separate ground wire.
I've got no electrical experience at all. My thinking was to attach one end of the ground wire to a stainless coupling and the other to the same three prong plug head that the live and neutral will connect to. Is that right?
I've attached two pictures to show the components and my intended setup.
Thanks!
