What kind of wire is needed to run from charger to grounding rod? I would like to have this on hand, since a reviewer said it is not included.

I just used some of the aluminum wire left from the spool of shock wire. Pounded the ground rod deep & clamped the aluminum wire to it then attached to the charger's ground post. The included tester and a stray dog poking around our garden confirmed the kit worked.

Actually it does come with 17 gauge alluminum wire, 250 feet of it. If you enlarge the picture, it's the round item at the top third of the package.

Supposed to be a ground wire, you can attach it yourself or not since this is a 12 volt application

This is a power pick-up one line only, solution. Any item needing grounding can be grounded nearby it's location if you do not want to run two wires to the fuse block.. If its for a phone you may want to find a fuse location that is powered even when engine is off. Good Luck!

I didn't install it; but, I'm sure my contractor would have told me if there was anything about it that was not standard. I'm pretty sure it would have had a ground wire. I'm happy with it; looks very nice over my DR table.

Yes, please follow the How To Guide come with the package. You have to connect the wires included with the package to the ground port of an outlet. Before doing it, you have to assure your outlet is grounded by using the included outlet checker.

As I recall, the switch has 3 wires that need to be connected. One wire is connected to the power source (hot), one wire is connected to the neutral, and the third wire goes to the load (light or receptacle, or device). This switch requires a neutral connection. I do not recall a ground wire or connection. I have used this device for a year, and found it to work just as advertised. The wire leads are 12 gauge wire.

The wire that comes from the fuse holder is a positive + connection only and should be connected to the positive wire on your charger. You should have a negitive wire coming the charger that should be connected to a ground source near the fuse box.

Yes, the ground wire is solid core. You don't really need a stranded wire for this application. The main factor in any use of wire in the ground is the insulation factor. You need to make sure and not scrape off any insulation while placing in the ground and if going under a graveled area, or anywhere a vehicle packs down the dirt or gravel, run it thru plastic conduit.This will keep the insulation and or wire from breaking and save some headaches.

I did, and had no problems with the wire, actually I bought a heavier wire as the lighter wire broke and tangled easier than the heavy guage. A steel alloy rod, purchased from Home Hardware, used for grounding house wiring, did the trick. Make sure its in damp ground, where you install the grounding rod, I would run the hose around my ground rod now and again, just to make sure.

You connect the grounding rod to the recovery bag same as electrical ground and on the other end of the long white wire there is a grounding rod that you stick into the earth. That is all it takes. It is a great bag to use for a short period of time or to sleep in for a long period of time. I have had mine for over a year and I love it. I sleep in mine and I have used both types of groundings depending on the location and what is available. I hope you enjoy!!!!

I used the tree wire but make sure you use the supplied wire in addition to the stock one to help the amps get to your batteries also double check your grounding size wire to make sure it can handle 140amps

Included is the wiring for this. You need to connect to a positive, battery terminal, and a ground.

Older installations won't have a matching ground wire. The ground wire is for safety, but not strictly necessary. Simply cap it off as you do the other leads and be very careful none of the wrong wires touch each other when you push the box in.

I used 10-2 cable with ground wire per the installation guide. It also requires a 30amp 2 pole breaker. Here is the link to the installation guide. http://www.king-electric.com/pdfs/EKB-Installation.pdf

I think yo have to connect the extra wire. Red one according to the pic. But not sure if it has to be live or ground

You still need to run a ground. This product just taps into an existing hot (positive +) fuse location on your fuse block. Your red positive hot wire will connect to this product.

You may not need it, look at the directions and it specifically states which models need the ground wire, only a couple of them do. The other ones do not. To find out, just hook it up without the ground wire and see if it works :)
