earthed
Connected to ground
Earthed is the past tense and past participle of earth, meaning connected to the ground for electrical safety.
In British usage, an earthed appliance has a wire running to the ground to prevent shock—what Americans call grounded.
Make sure the equipment is properly earthed before use.
