During grounding procedures, which action is taken last?

During grounding procedures, testing the circuit for verification is the final action taken because it ensures that the system is properly grounded and safe to work on. This step is critical because it confirms that there are no unintended energizing conditions or faults after the grounding is applied.

By first isolating the circuit and determining a suitable grounding location, these initial actions set the stage for a safe environment. Installing the ground clip follows these steps to secure the grounding connection. However, testing the circuit at the end provides a thorough verification that confirms all safety protocols have been followed and that the equipment is indeed de-energized and grounded effectively, preventing any risk of electrical shock or accident during maintenance or repair work.
