It is a device that is used to ground vibrating machinery to the ground wire of the device's feeder wire. The strap has extra flexibility that will take the bending and flexing from the machine to the ground terminal. If a wire is used, most times it will stress fracture and break due to the vibration, leaving the device ungrounded.

What size ground wire for a 400 amp panel in Quebec?
This answer is taken from the CEC. Table 17 states minimum size of grounding conductors. For a service conductor drawing 400 amps a #3 copper grounding conductor is needed. Also see rules 10-206, 10-700 and 10-812 if you have access to the code book.
Should i wear a grounding strap when servicing a CRT monitor?
I would suggest not wearing one, because the CRT uses very high voltages which could potentially remain while you are servicing it. Grounding yourself will put you at a greater risk of serious shock. The parts in a CRT are generally not as likely to be static sensitive as many other electronic devices, so the need for a grounding strap is not as great. Also, before working with a CRT, do some research into other precautions you should take to avoid electric shock.
What size is the grounding electrode of a 400 amp service 500CM?
