an outlet that is properly installed and grounded according to local regulations. If you
are not sure your electrical outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a licensed
electrician.

determine this wire's proper path.

local codes, to the National Electrical code/NFPA No. 70 – Latest Revision (for the U.S.)
or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 or Latest Revisions.
