Are these grounded through the stud, or do they have a ground wire?

It is grounded through the studs - no ground wire. It will only work when studs are mounted!

I haven't purchased this yet, but if there is no ground wire connection on the unit, then you just connect the ground wires from the incoming cable and outgoing cable together in a plastic box. If you do use a metal box, then you should run a pigtail ground wire to a grounding screw in the box to ground the box, but it would be easier to just stick with a plastic box so you don't have to worry about grounding the box.

Hi, it counts on your wiring. If the box is ground and you use the screw in the loop then yes it will be ground. If the box is not then of course a ground will not just appear from no where.

I am not an electrician so what I would do is Google it. Check out this site... http://www.epanorama.net/documents/groundloop/why_grounding.html

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.

Well, update, my sockets are 'grounded'; that is, they have 3 holes, 1 round. But the red light indicator on my Belkin is lit & says not grounded.So, I don't know. I'm using it, & will ask my building manager if it's really grounded or not.

Surge has to be grounded, otherwise it is not a surge. We run a 18 gauge wire from ground lug to a solid grounding point, such as an outdoor rod ground or pipe. Inside, if wall sockets are grounded (metal) you can ground to cover screw or to a computer case screw.

It did not have a grounding wire, but does have a screw on the side where one could be attached.

Truthfully, I do not know. But I would not think you would have the ground come to the TV. I have always used a separate ground for lightning / static protection. If they are refering to ground in the sense of positive & ground, then it certainly does.

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

These are just for the ground. If you can find a way to screw them to the deck just be aware of the wires.

Yes, you plug them directly into the wall. They are all 110 V grounded plugs.

sometimes they will not connect the ground to the switch but only to the box. On older houses they sometimes wrapped the ground around the incoming cables and locked it down under the holding clamp. if either of these is the case you can connect the ground wire from the switch to the box itself and it will be grounded. these switches have electronic components which may not work as well if not grounded in some capacity. also make sure the antenna is stretched out as much as possible. I fed the wire down thru a hole in the bottom of the box so it would hang out fully.

I think you could wire it either way. To check just wire them up on the ground. I am still installing mine

To add to the previous answer, they are hard-wired with the fan. Screws included too.

There's no silver wires and no ground wiring. Just buy two or more hooks for swag lamps and plug into the outlet. It looks great -- very attractive!!

IN MY PURCHASE they are with 3 PRONGS in the back , I think belkin or GE also make a 2 prong if that is what you are logging for try electrical switch non-grounded ... hope this helps
