Is this a proper Earth Connection?
Hi all!
I have a home theater system, and was having sort of unwanted humming sound from the speakers (especially from the subwoofer). I've thought that it was caused by the electrical surges of AC . As a matter of fact, I have purchased a surge protector (Belkin Pure AV) in order to filter them. The problem is that the surge protector needs an earth connection to work properly. I opened up the AC socket on the wall, and found out that there wasn't a ground connection there. I thought that the boiler I use must be grounded because it's a necessity for it to work properly. As a solution, I grabbed a wire and hooked it up to the radiator which is connected to the boiler. Then I checked out the surge protector indicator showing that the protection system works properly. So, it works fine, and I got rid of the humming sound mostly. All I'm trying to find out is if the earth connection I made is a correct way, or is it safe?
Thanks.
The ground wire is for excess fault voltage. It carries away mostly static, (your problem exactly). The ground you used for a single outlet should be fine. A surge protector shoots off voltage ( the suppressed voltage rating should be on the surge protector like 330v) to ground. The basic protection of the surge is very high spikes like lightning or a power company fault. But the wire you installed is good for noise on electrical systems. Make sure you put the grounding wire on the green screw that grounds the strap of the outlet. Do Not put the wire you installed on with the white wire on the silver screw. This will cause just the opposite effect and may cause you to be shocked while using the equipment or damage the circuitry.
