What size wire do you need for a 150 amp breaker?
A #6 copper ground conductor would be needed.
Is a copper wire a ground wire?
Yes, if it is not an insulated wire. If it is bare copper it is always ground. But the hot and neutral wire are also copper, they are just insulated.
What size Aluminum wire is used for ground in breaker box?
For a 100 Amp breaker panel it would be 2 AWG. For 150 Amps it would require 2/0 (2 ought) aluminum wire.
How do I rewire an ungrounded plug?
If there is no ground wire connect the ground wire to the neutral wire.

What do you do with the ground wire when installing a new thermostat that doesn't have a connection for the ground wire It's a 4 wire Honeywell thermostat Is it ok to not connect the ground wire?
That Thermostat is LOW voltage. IT does not have a ground wire. There is no need for a ground. it only opperates on 24 volts. there may be a green wire but it does not mean it is a ground
What do you need and how can you install a ground cable if your 240V outlet doesn't have a ground wire?
You need a 3 conductor wire with ground. For example if you had a 30 amp breaker for that outlet you would need 10awg 3w/ground. That's 10 gauge 3 conductor with ground and replace the old wire back to the panel.

You can test the fuel pump by touching the positive wire on the positive post of the battery. You will need to ground the ground wire.
How do you wire an older 2 wire 30 amp compressor to a 3 wire 30 amp dryer plug?
I am guessing that the dryer is 220-240 VAC as is the compressor. I also assume that the third wire on the dryer is a ground. You need to make sure that the metal chassis on the compressor is not connected to the two wires. You then need to create a covered junction box where you have the two existing wires and a ground wire that you connect to the compressor metal chassis with a screw type connector. Ground wire should be 10 AWG. Now you have three wires. Connect the two hot wires of supply to two original wires on compressor and ground wire to the chassis ground.
How do you ground a plastic box ground wire attached to GCFI and ground at fuse panel. Do I need to ground at the box itself as well?
