Ground Wire On Mounting Bracket at Elaine Myrtle blog

Ground Wire On Mounting Bracket. The metal mounting screws provide grounding continuity to box and bracket. The wire provides a continuous low resistance path. Most light fixtures have three wires, including a bare or a green ground wire. The green screw is connected to the bracket which is connected to the box that the ground supply is. The way this is usually done is the ground wire is attached to a grounding screw on the junction box. You bond the fixture first, then land the fixture ground wire under the bracket screw also so you can let the fixture. The mounting bracket is then grounded by screwing it into the junction. Always turn off the power at the breaker or fuse box before you work on electricity. Should an energized wire come in contact with that bracket, current will follow the easiest path to ground. It's in the metal bracket. Hook the screw loop around the green ground screw on your mounting bracket or light fixture and tighten the screw to hold it in. You can just attach the green ground wire for the new light to the green screw. If the fixture has a ground wire, it must be attached to either the ground wire in the box or to the grounding screw. In theory the bracket could become energized but it's insulated from anything and power should be off if you remove the light.
