Terminating Power cord.



Should the shield be connected to the ground?
I've seen articles that say the shield should be connected on the wall recepticle end only.
I've seen articles saying it should be connected on both ends.
I've seen articles saying it should not be connected at all.
Well?
Over to you.

Providing the power cord has a third wire, equipment grounding conductor, connect the shield to the ground pin of the plug at the wall receptacle end only. The equipment ground wire will connect at both ends.

What is the nominal wall receptacle voltage in Bangkok?
What does the receptacle ,or plug, configuration look like there? Do you have a picture of either?
