How do you ground a motor?

A motor is grounded with a lug in the motor's junction box. The ground wire in the supply cable is connected to this point. This lug grounds the whole motor frame so if a fault to ground occurs, the fault current will return to the distribution panel where the motor's supply breaker will trip and open the circuit.
