    Grounding and Earthing often creates a lot of confusion and to some extent depends how old you are. But you don't connect your DC ground to the Star point which is the point where all the screens connect to and then that is connected to the AC earth. The reason for the Star point is to get rid of earth loops (or ground loops if you are old).

    Sometimes you have more than one DC power source and again somtimes you have to connect the various DC power -ve together. Hope this helps a bit.
