Default ground wire very close to ac wires

is it okay if I "twist" my ground wire around mains wires. The ground wire is going to the ground-loop breaker.

any comments?

thank you.

1 end of the ground wire is connected to something like this: http://www.dse.com.au/isroot/dse/ima...cts/p4850.jpg.

The other slots are taken up by the live, neutral, AC ground and B+. Another 4 is taken up by wires to connect to a motor run cap.

After the ground loop, it goes nowhere else.

Hi J,
you've lost me.
One end of this wire goes to a terminal block and the other end goes to a ground loop breaker and then nowhere.

apologies for not being clear.

the terminal block has 2 holes.

1 hole has a black wire that goes to the ground loop breaker. there is nothing else connected after the ground loop breaker.

the other hole has a black wire that is connected to B+ ground.
