The term, 'negative ground' or 'negative earth' refers to the system of chassis-grounding, or chassis-earthing, used in vehicles. With this system, the negative terminal of the battery is directly connected to the metal parts of a vehicle, while the positive terminal is connected to the various electrical devices (lamps, etc.) using insulated conductors. The vehicle's metal parts ('chassis') then act as the return conductor to the battery.

What is the difference between ac and dc grounding?
The difference AC and DC grounding is that AC is alternate current and DC is direct current. Grounding for both AC and DC is the same.
What are electrolyte plates in a grounding system?
Electrolyte plates in a grounding system are electrically grounded metal plates on which a person stands to discharge static electricity picked up by his body. This is called grounding.
What is the effect of moisture in the substation grounding?
Soil moisture typically enhances the effect of substation grounding by making the soil more electrically conductive. Soil moisture dissolves minerals, creating an electrolyte, or conductive medium. Substation grounding systems often employ the use of a grounding well, which is a casing that is driven into the aquifer, for this reason.
Why do grounding plates work better in the desert areas?
Grounding plates work better in the desert areas because of the vast land.
Why and how is reactance grounding done?
Reactance grounding is done to lower ground fault current amounts, often to protect generators. It's done by tying the neutral of a generator to a grounding reactor (the other side of the reactor is tied to ground).
Types of discipline?

What is the polarity of car grounding?
Most cars made in the last 60 years are negative grounded.
Why would a negative wire melt off battery?
there is not a proper grounding wire mounted to the body of the car or truck.
Why do telecommunication systems use negative voltage?
negative polarity is achieved by grounding the positive terminal of power supply system and the battery bank. This is done to prevent electolysis depositions.
What types of audiovideo cable includes not only carriers for both positive and negative signals but also a grounding carrier?
Balanced
Why would a 1997 maxima have no power to coil wires?
Check your Ground (negative) cable to the block. Also check the grounding of the coil to the block.
Is this how you spell grounding?
The correct spelling is grounding.
