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.

I checked my voltage 230v. I think they claim 220.

The plug outlets in new buildings look similar to the states though in some the slots are rounded to accept an old Thai rounded two prong.

Older buildings have 2 prong outlets.

I went to a High-End shop today that sells the stuff. He said don't connect the shield.
By the way I double check all the screws on my cords, most needed a tightening. Some have pulled apart when bending too much.
