Thread: wiring fcg motor?

Tweet

hello all i recently finished my fcg rig and wired my extension cord to motor...here is my question - i attached the white and black wires but what do i do with the green/ground wire - its just hanging there?

is there a ground wire on the motor? If so connect it there or if not connect it to the frame of the motor.

thanks - no ground wire on the motor - ext cord has three wires motor has two black ones so i am left with the ground wire unnattached -

The green wire is a safety to give electricity from a shorted out device a direct path to ground, other than you! As bfjou812 said, just attach it anywhere on the metal part of the motor. Can't be too safe!
