why does the description state "non-grounded"?

To be perfectly honest im not too savvy with electrical but I know it does have the ground that plugs into the wall. I have had no problems witth it

NONE - it isn't electric - Not even described as one in the info. about it ~ ~

You're not properly grounded. Double check the ground at the switch and the box to the panel.

I do not think it was a grounded plug. Unfortunately I tossed the fan when it rusted so badly so I cannot check for sure. But to be fair, I live in Hilo, HI - lots of things rust here.I went with a full plastic fan the next time.

Will work as long as proper ground. Instructions state the item will not function if not properly grounded.

Tripp Lite tech support is great. it is grounded. I have this exact unit and use it as a backup to my Xantrax

It's my understanding that if your outlet is grounded, you don't need a grounding rod.

I do not know. I ended up not using it because it required an additional ground wire, which I do not have.

I no longer have that unit. It failed, but I believe it does not have a grounded cord.

To my surprise, the switch did not have a ground connection. I'm guessing that it's not required because there are no exposed connections (it attaches with wires and wire nuts), and that the construction is double insulated.

No problem, Susan. In point of fact, it *is* grounded, in a manner of speaking. Grounded to the grid, as it were. Suffice to say (and avoid allot of chatter about how AC differs from DC) that you're not going to get zapped by your sprouter. Or if you do, your electric company is to blame. The sprouter has a litany of faults all its own, but if it's certified by Underwriters Labs (which it must be), electrocuting its owners isn't among them (that I'm aware of). In all likelihood your motor will die long before any of this becomes an issue. Mine died within a month as I recall.

There is a way to ground it, but you must do it through a separate amp. Hope this helps!

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 won't burn them, but a lot of weeds or tall grass can have a slight grounding affect, but not as much as touching something that's actually grounded.

It has a three prong plug so it is grounded. Other then that you would have to contact the company. I've seen no issues with it so far.

So far I've used it a couple times and hadn't noticed anything like that. See if it makes a difference between certain ground terrain. (Test it on different types of grounding if you haven't already, like inside a store with smooth floor vs street)

I do not believe it's grounded but it should work. Can say I am impressed by build quality and USB ports are spot on. Good luck.
