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.
Does the ground wire from a 240 volt tankless water heater connect to the common wire?
Any ground wire has to be connected to an independent ground wire that returns directly to the distribution panel and not to the neutral of the circuit.
Does the ground wire on a 200 amp panel need to be looped through both ground rods?
Not looped but connected to both ground rods and then connected to the meter base.
What color screw terminal should the ground wire be connected to?
green
Where is the electrical ground wires on a vehicle?
The negative post on the battery is connected to the chassis (or frame) of the vehicle through a heavy wire. There may also be a heavy wire connected directly to the engine. In any case, the engine, frame and body are all electric ground points. All other electrical devices in the car use the frame or engine as the ground. Some are connected directly, for example the starter motor and alternator are bolted directly to the engine. Other components are connected to the frame or body with a wire. For example, the brake lights get power (+) through a wire from the brake light switch on the brake pedal, but they are grounded (-) through a short wire that runs to the body of the car. This makes it easier to wire the car since you don't have to run a return wire all the way to the battery. Sometimes a ground wire becomes corroded at the ground point, which can cause electrical devices to behave poorly. If a car is old and rusty, there is a good chance that some of the electrical devices may have poor grounds. For example, the tail lights may be dim. This is almost always caused by a poor connection on the ground side, rather than a poor connection on the hot (+) side. To troubleshoot this, you can use a voltmeter to check if there is a voltage drop between the device and a good grounding point. There should be no voltage between ground and ground, but if there is voltage between the ground side of the device, and a good ground on the chassis, this means that the grounding wire does not have a good connection.
Where is the starter on a 96 Lincoln mark 8?
Follow the ground wire from the battery. The ground wire from the battery goes right into the starter/connected to the starter. Passenger side of the engine compartment under the engine.
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
Do you need to connect ground wire to 1965 Chevy Nova?
Connect a ground wire to what? If you mean from the engine block to the firewall or frame - it ia always recommended that a grounding strap be connected between the two.
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.

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.
How do you wire a capacitor to an amp?
Positive post of capacitor is connected to the heavy amp cable. The ground terminal (or case) of the capacitor is connected to the car's ground or a ground wire that leads to the car's chassis. That's it.

What wire is connected to the cold water pipe at home?
ground
What wire is the hot wire and ground wire in a 1990 cutlass supreme?
the hot wire goes to the starter and the ground wire bolts to the engine block.
