Earthing wire must not be wrapped around anything. That wrapping is
bad for same reasons why sharp wire bends compromises protection.
Essential that an earthing wire from every protector be short ('less
than 10 feet'), direct, separated from other non-earthing wires, no
splices, etc. Each earthing connection should be separate until all
meet at the single point earth ground at the service entrance.


I gather America has a much bigger problem with lightning induced
surges than over here.
