Yes, most definitely. Provisions for the ground wire in the dryer receptacle should be used. The feeder cable's ground wire is first grounded to the receptacle's junction box ground screw and then taken to the receptacle's ground terminal. The dryer plug configuration will match up to the dryers four wire plug in cable. When the plug is connected into the dryer receptacle the ground terminals of both devices will match and the ground wire will be continuous from the voltage source at the distribution panel and complete the circuit at the dryer. This low impedance electrical path will conduct any ground fault that could occur at the dryer and trip the feeder breaker of the dryer circuit, there by removing the fault current from the dryer circuit.

What color wire is a grounded conductor?
Grounded conductor is white 120/240 volt & gray 480 volt. Grounding conductor is green or green with yellow.
What conductor should be grounded in a four wire three phase system?
The neutral.
What color should a H2 Conductor on 480 volt transformer should be marked?
The conductor for H2 connection on a 480 volt wire transformer should be marked:
What is an open ground when testing 110 ac wiring?
It simply means that the ground wire is not grounded. There are two HOT wires and the unshielded copper ground wire which should be connected some how to the earth (ie. grounded)
How do you obtain a 230 volts single phase supply from a 400 volts three phase four wire supply?
400 volt three phase on a grounded system is 230 volt single phase, with each phase 120 degrees apart. So, if you have a 400 volt, three phase four wire service (grounded service), you can pull one phase off and reference to the neutral for 230 volt service. Note this may not allow 115 volt service, unless there is also a center tap for each phase.
How do you tell if the ground wire is bad?
If the voltage between real ground and the ground wire is not 0.0000 Volt, then the wire is not grounded properly.
What color wire is a grounded conductor?
Grounded conductor is white 120/240 volt & gray 480 volt. Grounding conductor is green or green with yellow.
Which wire is grounded positive or negative?
The negative wire is grounded.AnswerThe negative wire is grounded.
What conductor should be grounded in a four wire three phase system?
The neutral.
Ground wire on turn signals?
Fixture where socket is inserted should be grounded to body
What color should a H2 Conductor on 480 volt transformer should be marked?

What happens if someone touches a high voltage wire?
If they are grounded they get an electric shock or electrocuted. If they are not grounded or in simultaneous contact with the neutral wire, nothing. That's why birds can sit on a high voltage wire and survive; they are not grounded.
Why did my Remote starter stopped working?
either the neutral safety wire is not grounded, or hoodpin wire is grounded. or the fuse is blown
How do you know if a tail light is grounded?
One possible answer is: The taillight will not be lit. Next: a voltmeter is useful to see if 12 volts in on the plus 12 volt supply wire to the lamp. If 12 volts is on the ground wire then the bulb is good but the ground wire is not tied to the ground circuits.
How do you wire a starter on a 90 hp Johnson?
The starter should have two wires. The positive wire goes to the positive terminal on the battery. The ground wire can be grounded to anything that is metal.
