...connection. In simplest form the transformer's electrostatic shield is connected to it. Many other shields are.Things like radiated and conducted susceptibility both depend on safety ground integrity. A device may very well become an FR receiver with the wire disconnected.
Just as commonly the safety ground is used to channel the ESD away from sensitive circuits.
Anyone who ever worked in instrumentation respects that wire.
