    My structure has no contact with the ground, as it is supported on polymer bases.

    - My socket has three pins (phase, neutral and earth), but only the source is grounded, the structure is not.
    - My engines are not windshield wipers and have no ground wire.


    Do I need to ground the structure? (ground connection!?)

    Minha estrutura não tem contato com o solo, pois está apoiada em bases de polímero.

    -Minha tomada tem os três pinos (fase, neutro e terra), mas somente a fonte está aterrada, a estrutura não.
    -Meus motores não são de limpador de para-brisa e não possuem fio terra.

    Preciso aterrar a estrutura?
    (fio terra!?)

    if the outlet does not have a ground wire, yes


    Se a sua tomada não tiver o fio terra sim.

    I've already burned two Arduino boards. rsrsrs

    I don't know your electrical circuit, but normally the best sollution is connect all metal pats to the ground...
    Are you using a power supply? You can also connect the negative connection to ground...

    It´s like a car, the negative pole is connected to the chassi...
