The main electrical ground wire is sized to the service and is non insulted bare copper. Branch circuit grounds are green in conduit installations and bare copper again in house wiring cables.

Why are you getting 120 volts from hot wire and grounded rod?
On a North American electrical distribution system this is quite normal and natural. The neutral connection point in a distribution panel is connected to the ground rod via the ground wire. So in effect the ground rod and the neutral are one in the same.
What is the electrical green wire for?
the green wire its ground so you have black withe an ground
What is negative electrical wire?
wire that is for ground normally gren
A jumper wire should be used to bridge the electrical ground across?
A jumper wire should use to bridge electrical ground across?
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.
What will happen if neutral and ground wire is shorted?
Nothing will happen if the neutral and ground wire is shorted. The electrical code makes it mandatory that the neutral and ground are brought together at a common point within the distribution panel. On a 120/240 volt distribution system the ground wire is terminated at the point where the service neutral terminated in the distribution panel. It is usually a double lug the neutral wire connecting into one hole and the ground wire connecting into the other hole. Through this lug assembly there is a machine screw that is inserted through the lug assembly and it screws into the metallic enclosure of the distribution panel. This action bonds the metal enclosure, neutral wire and ground wire bringing the point to a common potential of zero.
In a typical electrical panel installation the main ground wire is connected directly from a ground rod driven into the ground to the?
The ground wire should come from the ground rod and to the main electrical panel grounding terminal.
What is the color of live wire neutral wire and ground wire in Bangladesh.?
In Bangladesh the color of live is green and neutral is blue and ground is black.
Why does an electrical circuit have a copper wire?
If you mean a bare copper wire, that is the "ground" wire.
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.
What color is the ground speaker wire in a mitsubushi galant 1999?
The chasis is the ground. There is no wire.
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.
