That's pretty much standard these days.
I'm not making this stuff up. That's how its done.
I think that there is still some confusion out there. I used to work
for a company making specialist test equipment (brake dynos, motor /
pump testers, that sort of thing).
Our electricians were convinced that everything needed an yellow/green
earth connection. Every panel for the control cabinet, the doors, the
individual devices bolted to the machine bed. We would spend ages
making things look nice and painting them, and then they would come
back festooned with stripy wires and with a hole drilled in every
separate metal part for the earth stud.
I know exactly what you are talking about. This can certainly be
overdone.
I think the problem is that people are afraid of what will happen if
they don't run ground wires.
The question is always; If I don't run a ground wire to it will it
make it unsafe.
Most electricians (who are oftentimes paid by the hour) are happy to
make the system "really safe" by running more ground wires.
