Grounding the Motor and Pump
By Bruce Clark 

Roger Kling of Middletown, Delaware, asks what is the purpose of
the wire that connects the motor to the pump casting.  The wire is a
grounding wire.  Under certain very dry conditions, the motion of the
belt can build up a large static electrical charge.  The wire grounds
the pump frame to the motor.
