Background: The Lavatory Pump and Filter Assembly is driven by a 115V AC motor and the metal toilet bowl is connected to the housing of the electric motor.
However, the motor housing is not connected to an effective ground. Consequently, should a failure of the electric motor occur, the toilet bowl may carry a high voltage. This Directive requires the installation of an electrical ground connection.
