German term or phrase: unter einer Klemme
this is an electrical inspection of a furnace

one test attribute is:

"nicht mehrere Schutzleiter unter einer Klemme"

several ground wires should not be under one terminal (would an electrician say it that way or use different formulation?)

Any help much appreciated!

not more than one ground wire to a terminal
Explanation:
This is how it might appear in a list of things for the inspector to check.

I get your point, under is the wront preposition. This "to" refers to assigning, not to attaching. But it sounds typical for a list.

Best wishes, Nancy
