Not directly. Grounding bushing on either side of the interior meter enclosure are installed to keep the continuation of the grounding system to all metallic parts of the system.

What would make the ground wire burn into where it connects to the weather head on a house?
The ground wire is not connected to the weather head. The phase wires and neutral wire are connected to the weather head. The ground will be connected between the grounding electrode system and the service equipment. That being said, any current carrying wire could burn into something by causing excessive heat. This can be caused most easily by a loose connection at the point of the burn.
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.
How can you tell if the ground wire is approriately bonded to the neutral and the cabinet at the service box?
Ground wire can be appropriately bonded to the neutral and cabinet at the service box by connecting the neutral and ground wires from the feeder wires to the neutral bus bar and the ground terminal located on the same cabinet at the service box. White wire (neutral) must be connected to bus bar and bare wire must be connected to ground terminal in the same cabinet.
In a typical home electrical panel installation the main ground wire is connected directly from a ground rod driven into the ground to the what?
EarthIts a earth groundat lower potential then your service
How do I test for a ground wire?
Check the continuity of the ground wire from both the ends. Ensure the ground wire is properly connected to earth / ground terminals
What is rod earthing?
It is the installation of ground rods at a service entrance distribution to bring the relative resistance to ground to be within 5 ohms of the utility's distribution network. This grounding system is then connected to the service distribution with a calculated size wire and connected to the distribution at a point within the distribution panel, where the service neutral wire joins the neutral bus bar.
How do you size the static discharge wire on a lab table?
Generally a #6 copper conductor will do the job. The key to this grounding is that the ground conductor has to be taken back and connected to the service ground wire for optimal performance.
Can a ground wire be connected to the white neutral in Clearwater Florida if no ground wire ia available?
Yes, if there in no ground wire that is acceptable on a home with no ground wires.
What is the answer to in a typical home electrical panel installation the ground wire is connected directly from a geound rod driven into the ground to the?
Connect other end to the ground lug in the service entrance part of your panel.
Is there a ground wire connected to the transmission?
yes theres an braided ground wire that bolts to the transmission bell housing
What is the wire that is connected to the hood and fastened to the fender?
ground wire, all the metal on the car is where any electricial device can be connected to.
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.
