les mises à terre
Strictly speaking, the very expression 'mise à terre' means 'ground connection', and in this particular context, I would be reluctant to add any extra word to render 'connections' separately.
These are notional connections, it does NOT mean a wire or cable specifically, and any such added word is corrupting the original meaning.

: oui, "ground" = mise à la terre..et "conducteurs" au pluriel ok // conducteurs électriques de mise à la terre (mais "électriques" peut rester sous-entendu, je pense)
