Why is there even a bare wire? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

Not an electrician or even electrical savvy but it's typical for ground wires to be bare. Its not typical or good or even sane for them to be connected to something which WILL carry electricity.

Bare wire for grounding purposes. That's all it's used for.
