A thick earthing wire, or a wide, flat conductor, is preferred, because it's more

important to minimize henrys (inductance) in the earthing system than to reduce

ohms (resistance). For the same reason, corners and small angles in an earthing

conductor should be avoided, and the conductor should approach any connections

from a parallel direction.
