	Follow the electrical code that applies to the country of the installation, which is not specified in the original post; in the UK, for example, it is BS7671. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	Do the pump and motor have electrical continuity with metal baseframe and pressure vessel?. __________________ pnaban

	I assume it is water pump.Is it skid mounted? The pump and the motor must be mechanically connected to each other,plus because of leakages there is a chance of electrical leakage.Earthing the pump will be more prudent and will cost less than the time on the discussion.

	No the motor-pump base is a civil one not mounted in frame.. the pump output have been connected to the vessel and its not pressure vessel..!!
