The term is for fresh ginger. What you do is get a real ginger root and measure it. One ginger root can be as big as 8 inches long, so you want a piece about as long as your finger. Then you can grate it into your recipe. Most US groceries carry it in the fresh produce department.
To turn fresh ginger into powder, cut the ginger into small pieces and dry it out under hot sun than grind it a dry mixer while the piece are still crisp from sun drying to fine powder. than let the powder cool to room temperature before storing in air tight box.
I was searching the net for this precise answer - I found your question before I found the answer! Anyway, if you're still looking for an answer I found another website that said a whole nutmeg yield 2 to 3 teaspoons of ground nutmeg.
If your recipe asks for Ginger root, it is the actual root you find in the produce section, that is is asking you to use. in some recipes it is for the flavor, but often ginger has a medicinal characteristic. If you have powder, that is the dried and ground form of the root, and it will not be the same measurement. It also depends on what you are making- if you can substitute the powder for the root.
My recipe calls for fresh, chopped ginger, Can I use ground ginger & in what proportion. The recipe calls for 2 tsp. fresh chopped ginger?
When all else fails, go to "Joy of Cooking" --see "equivalents and or substitutions, and I quote: 1 Tsp raw ginger = 1/8 tsp pwd. This info is usually on the spice container, but I use a less expensive brand and it does not have the info. cmg

Candied ginger does not have the same pain relieving properties as fresh ginger, but it is still very strong. The cooking of ginger makes it less effective, but it is still a good pain reliever and stomach relaxer.
