The main ground should not have a splice to ensure continuity of the ground. The reality is that this is done in some cases. If the splice should loosen or be intermittent you will create a shock hazard.

What is a wire Lap Splice?
It is the same type as the western union splice, where the two wires are overlapping and wound back on the opposite conductor.
What does the term - wire splice - mean?
A wire splice is the joining of two or more wires together. Commonly this is done with an approved wire joining nut. All slices are to be made in junction boxes to prevent fire should the wire splice become unserviceable.
What is the minimum size alluminum ground for a 200A service?

What are white black and green colors represent on electrical wires?
In the US, the common usage of these colors is: BLACK: Hot - connected to one phase of the service AC. WHITE: Connected to the Neutral of the service AC. GREEN: Connected to the GROUND bus at the service entrance. At the service entrance, the GROUND and the NEUTRAL bus are connected together.
What is a terminal connection used in data communication and ground circuits?
Splice
Do you put electrical tape around a spliced ground wire?
No, it is not recommended to put electrical tape around a spliced ground wire. The ground wire should be securely connected using a wire nut or another appropriate connector as specified in electrical codes to ensure a reliable connection and safety.
What is the procedure for splicing home service wires?
The electrical code states that any splice in a wire, the insulation over the splice has to be equal to or greater than the insulation on that of the rest of the wire. So what ever type of splice that you use make sure that you insulate it well.
Did dhl sell ground service?
Yes, DHL does in fact sell ground service. However, it is not called ground service. Rather, it is called domestic service.
How do you splice thermocouple wire?
One splice that would work is a western splice.
How do you splice a ground wire?
Strip the wires back about 3/4" and then using lineman's pliers twist the wires together about 2 turns. Tighten a wire nut securely to the connection. Then tape the splice securely with electrical tape.
What different types of splices are there?
The long splice, the short splice, the end splice, and the eye splice are probably the most commonly used types.
If you ground wire is not long enough can you connect 2 wires together and then ground it to the grounding post?
It is generally not recommended to connect two ground wires together as this can lead to an unreliable ground connection. It is better to use a single, continuous wire that is long enough to reach the grounding post. If the wire is not long enough, you should replace it with a longer one.

What is the difference between a long splice and a short splice?

Hell yeah Yep there will definitely be a splice 2 because of the ending of the first splice and also because I have been searching the net and splice 1 was not supposed to have a sequel but after the ratings of splice 1 the creator of splice 1 has decided to make a splice 2 the rebirth.
What is a taps?
A tap splice is a splice that is made usually in a mid span of aerial feeder conductors. It is used to connect a home from a utility company's secondary service drop on the street where the span is between poles and it is not convenient to connect a mid span home to either pole. Tap splices are also made in underground services where the utility feeders are in conduit between junction boxes. Each home along the route has an underground conduit from the junction box to the homes meter base. In the junction box where the home service wires connect to the utility feeders, this splice is known as a tap splice.
