Best Answer

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.

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 to wire a 12 volt coil?

To wire a 12-volt coil, connect one terminal to the ignition switch's "hot" terminal and the other terminal to the distributor in the ignition system. Make sure the coil is grounded properly for it to work effectively in the circuit. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions or a wiring diagram for your specific vehicle to ensure proper installation.
