You use that wire when you want to electrify the frog so it has
the same polarity as the stock rail to which it leads.

Which in turn will let shorter wheel base loco's run without stalling or hesitating on the frog.
Personally I use the #5's and have not powered any of them to date. All my loco's run just fine through them.
