What is the two types of ground circuit?
1. direct ground circuit 2. virtually ground circuit
What does grounding a connector mean?
"Grounding a connector" means you join a connector in a circuit to another point in the circuit that is definitely at ground potential. This is done mainly when testing a circuit, to be sure that a particular point in that circuit really is at ground potential if you are not certain that it is already. Alternatively, you could be doing a test to temporarily ground a connector that is not normally at ground potential, to see what effect doing the test has on the behavior of the circuit.
Why do you only need one ammeter in a circuit?
An ammeter is a amp meter put into a circuit in series. There is virtually no voltage drop or resistance in an ammeter so two in series would be redundant. If you have one in a circuit it will tell you the amps that circuit is generating, two would both give virtually the same result.
In relation to electric what does the term fault protection mean?
Protective devices - relays, CT,PT, isolators, circuit breakers are used for fault protection. Fault protection means If there is a fault in the circuit, the circuit must be cut off before any damage occurs due to fault.
Can one use 1 circuit of a 3 wire plus ground 2 circuit cable as a GFI circuit with the other as a lighting circuit?
A GFCI can not be used on a three wire branch circuit. It has to be on a single two wire circuit.

What you mean by ground fault?
An electric circuit grounding.
What does the ground of an Integrated Circuit mean?
A: a ground on an IC is just a reference to the lowest point of voltage that can be applied.

Why does an electrical circuit have a copper wire?
If you mean a bare copper wire, that is the "ground" wire.
What is the use of a bulb in a closed circuit?
i believe you mean lamps a bulb is what you plant in the ground.
What is a difference between ground fault and earth fault?
They mean the same thing, a current to ground/earth that shouldn't exist in the circuit.
What is meant by the ground in an electric circuit?
The ground in an electric circuit is the brown copper wire.
What is the GFCI?
A "GFCI" is a ground fault circuit interrupter. For more information see the link below.
What does the word virtually mean?
virtually
What do ground fault relays do?
Ground fault relays sense ground faults in the circuit and trigger a circuit breaker to trip off
