What else can I help you with?
If live is kept open could it trip circuit breaker by connecting neutral to ground?
Yes, keeping a live wire open can potentially trip a circuit breaker if the neutral and ground are connected. This can create a potential difference between neutral and ground, leading to a fault current that may trip the breaker. It is unsafe to have a live wire left open and in contact with other conductors.
What is the difference between tombolo from the peninsula?
I am not entirely sure, but I think it may have to do with the connecting mass. Tombolos are usually connected by a sandbar, which is more prone to geographical effects and can be more effected by waves and tides. Peninsulas are connected by more "solid" land masses such as solid ground that are not as prone to being shifted around. Also, peninsulas have to be connected to a mainland, whereas tombolos can be connected to other islands as well as a mainland.
How do you increase ground pressure?
Ground pressure can be increased by either adding weight to the object exerting pressure or by reducing the surface area in contact with the ground. Increasing the weight or decreasing the area will concentrate the force, leading to higher ground pressure.
Can you pigtail grounds in a panel in order to prevent double lugging on the neutral bus.?
The ground wires should not be terminated on the neutral bus. They should be terminated on to the ground bus which should be located on the back wall of the distribution panel. The wires don't have to be pigtailed when inserted into the ground bus. More that one wire can go under the terminal screws if you are running out of room. Shut the panel off and remove any ground wires that are now under the neutral bus terminals and move them to the ground bus. Some panels use a lug for a ground bus. All ground wires into the lug and tighten. In a ground fault condition it is the ground wires that are connected to the ground potential that trip the breaker, not ground wires connected to neutrals. Be safe.
Does the ground wire on a 200 amp panel need to be looped through both ground rods?
No, the ground wire on a 200 amp panel does not need to be looped through both ground rods. The ground wire typically needs to be connected to the grounding electrode system, which may include ground rods, but it does not need to loop through them. It is important to follow local electrical codes and guidelines when installing grounding systems.
Why is the pressure on ground more when a men is walking than when a men is standing?
The difference is dynamic pressure vs. static pressure.
What is the advantage of connecting the outer conductor of a coaxial cable to ground?
To prevent the outer conductor, or shield, from radiating, it is connected to electrical ground, keeping it at a constant potential.
What is a simple wiring diagram for a light switch?
A simple wiring diagram for a light switch involves connecting the power source to the switch, and then connecting the switch to the light fixture. The power source is typically connected to the switch through a black wire, and the switch is connected to the light fixture through a white wire. A ground wire is also connected for safety.
Can the ground and neutral wires be connected to the same bar in an electrical panel?
No, the ground and neutral wires should not be connected to the same bar in an electrical panel as they serve different purposes in the electrical system. Connecting them to the same bar can create safety hazards and cause electrical issues.
How do you bypass grounding an indash DVD receiver to the e brake in a 1997 Chevy Tahoe?
the wire needs ground to function. Connecting it to the ebrake allows it to ground so just connect the video wire to any ground and it will function as if it was connected to the ebrake
What is the difference between in the ground and on the ground?
In simplest terms, an above ground pool is built the handle the water pressure exerted from the inside but not the pressure of the ground around the outside. It takes the special structure of a pool built for burial in order for it to not collapse when placing it into the ground and backfilling.
What is the difference between a neutral bar and a ground bar in an electrical panel?
A neutral bar is where the neutral wires from the circuits are connected, while a ground bar is where the ground wires are connected. The neutral bar carries the current back to the power source, while the ground bar provides a path for excess electricity to safely dissipate into the ground.
Will amp blow out if connecting the ground wire to the power wire while connected to amp?
Since the resulting short circuit would be outside the amp, it WOULD NOT blow the amp.
Do you connect the ground cable from your car to the ground cable from your stereo or connect the ground caple from the stereo to metal in your car and leave the other wire loose?
If your connecting a stereo, it's always best to ground directly to the negative side of the battery: however you can connect to a ground under the dash also. Some autos have a ground block at the fuse panel that can also be used but you will need a spade connector. your cars body is the ground.connect the stereo ground to a metal part of the car,leave the battery connected to a ground,engine should also be connected to a ground
What is the charge on a conductor connected to "ground"?
When a conductor is connected to "ground," it becomes neutral and carries no charge.
Is the black wire connected to the line or the grounded line when connecting a power cord to a motor?
Black is the hot side of the line, white the neutral side, green (or rarely bare) wire is the ground.
How can I wire an outlet from another outlet using a diagram?
To wire an outlet from another outlet, you can create a parallel connection by connecting the hot, neutral, and ground wires from the existing outlet to the new outlet. This can be done by running a new cable from the existing outlet to the new outlet and connecting the wires accordingly. Here is a simple diagram to help you visualize the connection: Existing Outlet: Hot wire (black) connected to brass screw Neutral wire (white) connected to silver screw Ground wire (green or bare) connected to green screw New Outlet: Hot wire (black) connected to brass screw Neutral wire (white) connected to silver screw Ground wire (green or bare) connected to green screw Make sure to turn off the power before working on any electrical connections and consult a professional if you are unsure about the process.
