The salt bath kiln is designed to provide electrical grounding for the salt pot (and by extension, the molten salt) and temperature sensing thermocouples.
These grounds are protective measures designed to provide a safe dissipation of electrical energy in the event of an electrical failure (short circuit). All
ground connections must be in place and prior to use.
Special attention shall be made to the ground connection at the salt pot. The ground connection at the salt pot is prone to corrosion with use.
Periodic inspection shall be made to ensure a sound electrical connection between the salt pot, salt pot grounding lug hardware and the salt
pot grounding strap. The grounding surfaces of these items should be clean and free of corrosion. Remove any corrosion at these points or
replace them if removal is not possible.
