Key Features
- Genuine OEM Electrical Integrity — manufactured by Bomag to match the original wire gauge, insulation rating, and connector specification of the factory earth ground wire, ensuring stable grounding continuity across the electrical system
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — matches the original routing, length, and terminal configuration so this earth ground wire installs into your tandem roller's chassis ground circuit without modification
- Broad Tandem Roller Coverage — fits a wide range of Bomag tandem rollers, including BW 100 AC-3, BW 100 AD-3, BW 120 AC-3, BW 120 AD-3, BW 125 ACH, BW 125 ADH, BW 135 AC, BW 135 AD, BW 138 AC, BW 138 AD, and BW 138-AD models
- Protects Sensitive On-Board Electronics — a sound earth ground path prevents voltage fluctuations and electromagnetic interference that can damage control modules, sensors, and other electrical components on the roller
- Electrical Safety Assurance — a properly grounded machine reduces the risk of stray current, unexpected component behavior, and electrical faults that can create unsafe operating conditions for the operator
The earth ground wire provides the low-resistance return path that completes every electrical circuit on the machine, connecting the chassis, engine block, and electrical components back to the negative terminal of the battery. Without a solid ground connection, current cannot flow correctly, leading to erratic sensor readings, intermittent starting faults, flickering instrumentation, and potential damage to control units. When the ground wire corrodes, breaks, or loses its terminal contact, these symptoms can appear suddenly and are often misdiagnosed — replacing the earth ground wire with a genuine Bomag part restores the baseline electrical health the machine depends on.
