What two colors may be used for the ground conductor neutral?

What two colors may be used for the ground conductor (neutral)


What is the difference between a ground conductor and a ground electrode conductor?

# A ground electrode conductor is a conductor that originates at the neutral or equipment ground buses in the main service entrance panel board or separating derived system (e.g. isolation transformer) # A ground electrode is a item that is in contact with the earth (e.g. Building metal frame, underground continuous metallic water pipe etc...) # A ground conductor is a conductor that is used to keep an electrical system continuous. Ground conductors are required, by code, in all PVC conduit runs. Ground conductors are also used to keep all metallic components of the installation at the same zero potential to overcome mechanical connections that would not carry a fault current back to the supply distribution panel.


What causes the fracture of the ground?

Earthquake causes fracture of the ground.


How are the live neutral and ground wires connected to a duplex grounding type receptacle?

The black "hot" conductor goes to the brass coloured screw. The white coloured conductor goes to the silver coloured screw. The bare ground conductor goes to the ground green coloured screw


What is an earth or ground continuity conductor?

An earth or ground conductor that is used for continuity throughout the home is the ground conductor that is found in cable wire sets. What it is used for is to bring everything that it is connected to down to the same potential which is zero. The grounding circuit is a low impedance circuit. If a fault occurs on any equipment and shorts out to ground, this conductor being directly connected to the distribution panel, carries the fault and trips the breaker feeding the faulted circuit.

What happens if lightning strikes galvanized metal?

To the metal? Not much, it will conduct through the metal then jump to the next conductor on its way to ground. Might be a burn at the entry/exit points.


What are the faults in the cable?

Cable faults are normally categorised as (a) conductor-to-earth (ground) faults, (b) conductor-to-conductor faults, and (c) conductor-to-conductor-to earth (ground) faults. In addition to that, we can categorise them by whether they are 'high-resistance' or 'low-resistance' faults.


Can ground conductor use as a neutral conductor in a house wiring?

No. Absolutely not. The ground conductor is not rated to carry constant current flow. It is only rate to carry fault current flow.


What type of heat causes a burn?

The type of heat that causes a burn is gas!
