I would not ground the unit, why you may ask. Well if you ground it correctly and accidently touch the phase, you will most likely get one hell of a belt from it!

But if you don't earth and only touch one of the terminals, you will probably feel nothing or just a slight tingle!

If you touch both live and neutral at the same time, you will get a good belt of course!!

Buy an ELCB...... which you will need to buy and install - if you want safety.
