How do I test for a ground wire?
Check the continuity of the ground wire from both the ends. Ensure the ground wire is properly connected to earth / ground terminals
Can a ground wire be connected to the white neutral in Clearwater Florida if no ground wire ia available?
Yes, if there in no ground wire that is acceptable on a home with no ground wires.
Can you wire a external and an internal ground together on a drier?
The ground wire should go from the dryer directly back to the distribution panel. An external ground wire is not required. The ground wire that is in the cord set that is connected to the frame of the dryer and the ground wire that is in the feeders coming from the distribution panel, that is connected to the ground terminal in the dryer receptacle, is all that is required to satisfy the code requirement.
Why is the ground wire hot at all outlet boxes on a particular circuit?
Most likely the ground (green) wire is mistakenly connected to hot instead of the hot wire (black) at the breaker panel! Possibly you meant the neutral wire not the ground wire, in that case most likely the neutral (white) wire is mistakenly connected to hot instead of the hot wire (black) at the breaker panel! In either case check all three wires in the breaker panel for that circuit to make sure they are all correctly connected! Black is hot, White is neutral, Green (or uninsulated in some cases) is ground.
Can one convert a two prong outlet to a three prong outlet?
Yes, provided that you have a ground wire in the box and that the ground wire is properly connected in the electric panel.
How do you know what wire is ground on 200 amp service?
On a 200 amp or any size service the ground wire is easily identified. Look in the distribution panel for the neutral bus bar. This is where the service neutral (white wire) is connected to the distribution panel. There you will see a bare copper wire connected to the same neutral bar. This is the ground wire that is connected to the ground rods out side of the house.

Is there a ground wire connected to the transmission?
yes theres an braided ground wire that bolts to the transmission bell housing
What is the wire that is connected to the hood and fastened to the fender?

How do you wire a capacitor to an amp?
Positive post of capacitor is connected to the heavy amp cable. The ground terminal (or case) of the capacitor is connected to the car's ground or a ground wire that leads to the car's chassis. That's it.
What wire is connected to the cold water pipe at home?
ground
Does the ground wire from a 240 volt tankless water heater connect to the common wire?
Any ground wire has to be connected to an independent ground wire that returns directly to the distribution panel and not to the neutral of the circuit.
Does the ground wire on a 200 amp panel need to be looped through both ground rods?
Not looped but connected to both ground rods and then connected to the meter base.
What color screw terminal should the ground wire be connected to?
green
If Replacing light switch old one has ground new one does not do you have to use the ground wire?
The ground wire must remain connected to the box. The frame of the switch, and therefore also the screws, must remain connected to the box as well.
