If you asked this question because you have no experience of working on the latest household power circuits and you hope to get enough information on this site to be able to do the job properly and safely, it is best to warn you not to rely on getting accurate information from this site about such a potentially dangerous subject. By asking this question you probably aren't quite ready to take on this particular task. Whether it is legal or illegal to use a radiator pipe going into the ground instead of running a proper ground wire do this job depends entirely on the Wiring Codes or Regulations for the locality (Town/State) and on the exact location of the GFCI outlet: if it is anywhere that is subject to water splashes or spray - such as a pool-side area, or in any room supplied with running water pipes, such as a kitchen, bathroom, shower room, etc. - in many places nowadays it is actually illegal to attempt to do this kind of work unless you are already a licensed electrician. Really, don't do this one yourself. Electricity is far too dangerous to handle if you don't already know your local Wiring Codes or Regulations or you have not been trained how to do this work. For your own safety and that of anyone else who may to use the appliance connected to that outlet, ask a professional licensed electrician to advise you or to do the work for you. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

What is the difference between AGND and DGND?
AGND means Analog ground & DGND means Digital ground. Due to fast switching of digital signals it is possible for noise generation which affect nearby analog signals.(If common gnd used for both analog & digital). If separate gnd used for both the signals.Noise will not affect the signals.
What is the formula to calculate the line to ground voltage of 480v?
If by "line" you mean a wire conductor carrying 480volts AC then there can be no "line to ground voltage" or you would have a short circuit!Ground voltage, usually referred to as "Earth" in electrical terms, is at zero potential and thus connecting a live 480 AC line straight to Earth is extremely dangerous and unless there is a means to cut the voltage when a short occurs (in a house this will be the fuse box, these days usually containing RCB's) an electrical arc at temperatures hotter than the Sun will be produced at the point of the short, the rest of the wire will get so hot it melts and the thermal damage will spread to other wires or any combustable materials in the nearby vacinity and a raging fire could easily ensue!There are tables giving the electrical breakdown resistance of the insulation used on electrical cables (Typically measured in kv per mm) and perhaps this may be more helpful to you.AnswerOf course you can have a line-to-ground voltage! If the line conductor has a potential of 480 V measured with respect to ground, then there is a line-to-ground voltage of 480 V. Period! End of story! The very presence of a voltage between a line conductor and ground indicates that there is NO short circuit, as the voltage across a short circuit is zero! But to answer the question, there is no calculation involved. But you can measure it with a voltmeter.
What is induced force?
the positive end of one molecule attracts the mobile electrons of the nearby non polar molecule in this way polarity is induced these forces called as dipole-induce dipole forces
What is the difference between polar capacitors and bipolar capacitors?
Polar capacitors are acidic wet dielectric type capacitors which work only when there is a DC voltage present between its two leads in right polarity. Polar capacitors are ideally suited for a DC power supply ripple filter. When connected in wrong polarity, chemical reactions within a polar capacitor can cause them to blow up, often violently, causing injury to someone nearby. Most polar capacitors these days come with a safety valve to release internal pressure build up. Non polar capacitors are usually dry types made of ceramic, mylar, polyester or any possible dry insulator as a dielectric. Two polar capacitors connected back to back also make a non-polar capacitor. They work well in all situations whether there is any DC voltage present between their leads or not. Non polar capacitors are often very large and impractical in most applications except where a small capacitance value is required. Some good applications for non-polar capacitors are: an AC motor starter, an AC line spike filter and a crossover network. Since voltages across an AC motor or inside a speaker system consist only of pure AC, polar capacitors cannot be used in those cases. Polarized capacitors are typically large devices known as electrolytic or tantalum type packages, used for filtering or stabilizing voltage sources, usually in DC type circuits. Construction of these is if I recall correctly, an aluminum foil called the anode (positive lead), separated by an oxide film with a dielectric material known as the cathode (negative lead), hence polarity. Non-polarized are similar to polarized except the plates are similar metal. Polarized caps are typically used in large voltage situations, such as DC line filtering to reduce noise related to uneven voltage levels after rectification from an AC source. Mainly measured in microfarads. Polarity is critical to these devices. They are marked with the voltage rating (usually double the circuit voltage used) as well as the farad marking. non-polarized caps are typically used in low voltage situations, both AC and DC. Polarity is not critical. Measured in pico farads typically.
How relay used for protection purpose?
Relay are operated by small current /voltage connected to Secondary side of Current Transformer and /or Voltage Transformer. The signal stimulates the magnetic substance nearby with the attracting force. This closes or opens the circuit being used in protection purpose.
On a 1985 Pontiac Parisienne where is the ground wire for the lowbeam headlights?
Should be coming out of the wiring harness on each side of the car, where the harness is fastened to the radiator support. The ground is bolted to the radiator support on both right and left sides near the headlights- on the back of the radiator support
What local store can i buy polarized glasses from near loveland?
If you go onto the Internet to the web address 'www.buypolarizedsunglasses.org/Oklahoma-OK/cities/Loveland and click on Nearby Locations that will show where your nearest store is
What does it mean if an object is charged by induction?
When an object is charged by induction, it means that the object becomes polarized or temporarily charged in response to the presence of a charged object nearby, without direct contact. This occurs because the charges in the object rearrange themselves in response to the nearby charged object, leading to an imbalance of charges.
From where does water that is on the ground come?
Water on the ground can come from precipitation (such as rain or snow), runoff from nearby bodies of water, or leakage from underground sources like groundwater.
What is a sudden discharge between parts of a cloud between nearby clouds or between a cloud and the ground?
lightning
Is there water in the ground and where?
Mostly there is water in the ground when there's a nearby river or a creek etc. The water is mostly deep inside the earth and mud because the rainwater soaks into it.
What are the signs if a cow has miscarriaged?
There will be reddish afterbirth hanging from the vulva, and you may see a really small calf on the ground nearby.
A sudden spark when electrical charges jump between nearby clouds or parts of a cloud or between a cloud and the ground?
That is true.
How do we get rid of ground bees at the base of a shrub without killing the shrub or contaminating a nearby drinking well?
They are doing no harm leave them alone.t
How is the thermal energy of the radiator transferred to the surrouding air?
A radiator had 2 major mode of heat tansfer. One is radiation where the energy is emitted in the form of infrared radiation to the surrounding. Other is convection since the hot surface cause air to expand and induce wind motion and cause rapid cooling.
How to remove radiator fan fron 1999 continental?
To remove the radiator fan from a 1999 Lincoln Continental, first disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Then, remove any necessary components that obstruct access to the fan, such as the shroud or other nearby parts. Disconnect the electrical connector from the fan and remove the mounting bolts or screws securing the fan to the radiator. Finally, carefully lift the fan out of the engine compartment.
Where is coolant under the hood?
Coolant is typically found in the radiator or coolant reservoir under the hood of a vehicle. The radiator is usually located at the front of the engine compartment, while the coolant reservoir is often a translucent plastic tank situated nearby. In some vehicles, the coolant can also circulate through hoses connected to the engine and radiator. Always ensure the engine is cool before checking or adding coolant to avoid burns.
