Spanish term

puesto a masa

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
From a Health and Safety Requirements for New machinery document

Los circuitos de los órganos de mando deberán estar concebidos y construidos de manera que la puesta a masa de los conductores o un cortocircuito entre los conductores o el corte de los conductores, no pueda dar lugar a un arranque intempestivo, ni imposibilite la parada del equipo.

In the Websters on line they have this term as "bonding", but arent they talking about "earthing" here, or something similar
Proposed translations (English)
3 +3 earthing/grounding
4 ground lead

Actually the Websters ref is for "puestA a masa" so this could be a typo :o/

earthing/grounding

I agree with you, it should be 'earthing' or 'grounding'

well, Eurodicautom indicates it also as bonding, which is anyway an earthing connection

you can actually find lots of reference for earth bonding or earthing and bonding together
