Short answer: it can prevent damage to the power supply equipment.; Long answer: When its not shorted it means that the power supply is "floating" (i.e. NONE of the terminals is connected to ground) --> thus, although a specified voltage is maintained b/w the +ve and –ve terminals BUT the voltage b/w either +ve and ground OR –ve and ground terminals is

In essence, the supply current is returned to the supply through the ground connection. So when your power supply is a battery, it makes perfect sense to connect the (-) side of the battery to your system''s ground pin. Notice that this isn''t just a voltage reference though; it is also the supply return.

A good idea is to upgrade the body & chassis ground cables from the negative terminal of the battery as the original cables are sized to the standard electrical load of the vehicle & may not be heavy enough to handle an increased load on the chassis ground.

However I would agree since the 1950''s when it was found the chassis could be negative with respect to the battery but positive with respect to the spark plug most cars and wagons have connected the negative to the chassis as it causes less corrosion than with a positive chassis so negative is considered often as earth.

So the DUT chassis would be safer, just beware of handling both devices at the same time (for example, touching both chassis of ''scope and DUT could be dangerous, if the ground lead of the scope isn''t put at DUT ground/chassis as well).

In such a case, it is usually better to connect the outer chassis to the local ground. The frame of a power supply might still be connected to the AC line ground, but then that shouldn''t be shorted to the chassis. Or, you ignore the AC line ground completely and tie the power supply frame and whole chassis to the local ground.

The battery poles are supposed to be safe to touch. The battery ground should therefore be the most reliable and visible ground connection.

Learn MoreIt is possible to use a single ground to the engine block but if this is the case, a second ground wire from the block to the frame or chassis is required. This is not the preferred method of grounding since multiple grounds to the frame, and body, and engine will provide a more secure ground. Is the car battery connected to the chassis?
Automotive electronics generally use the metal chassis as the negative ground connector for the DC circuits. Obviously this saves something on wiring. Is there an electrical reason for this approach? (I am not asking why negative instead of positive, but why metal frame instead of wire.) Related: Automotive electrical system.
A secure ground connection is required between the negative battery terminal to the body of the car as well as directly to the engine. A connection is commonly made between the body and the chassis as well. A common wire can be run directly to the starter, or close to it mounted to a bolt on the engine bell housing.
Electrical loads in the car are supplied power from the positive terminal of the battery and the metal body of the car furnishes the return ("neutral") ground path for each of the loads, eliminating the need for a separate return wire and thereby saving money.
The car battery should be connected to the chassis of the car as well as the body of the car and the engine block. There are countless places to make a ground connection on the car, but I will address some of the best and most common places. My battery had a wire from the negative terminal connecting to the alternator bracket.
Use one ground only, close to the battery. The battery poles are supposed to be safe to touch. The battery ground should therefore be the most reliable and visible ground connection. The DC ground cabling should have a sufficient thickness to be able to carry a fault current at least equal to the DC fuse rating.
