How to Properly Ground Your Electricity Outlets and Save Lives
Abstract
Sometime when we touch the metal parts of instruments or devices connected to wall outlet, we feel a mild electricity shock from the devices. A stingy shock that could be harmful to some people. It must be more than sixty volts that a human-body can response to it. Over than 60volt of excess electricity will damage some devices. It means the electricity is leaking. This leakage is hazardous to your health and to parts of devices such as chips in computers, USB devices or others. In some cases, it will directly damage the devices. This leakage comes from improper grounding of the electricity wiring system.
