Inside a building, you connect the conductor to the AC outlet ground (the circular hole in the wall outlet). Outside the building, the conductor can be connected (soldered, for example) to a copper pipe which has more than six feet underground in soil.

Warning: never work with electricity, no matter that it is just for a second, unless you have taken safety classes and basic lessons in electricity. People go to school to be an electrician.

What is ecc in electrical cabling?

This is the earth continuity conductor, which links the earth busbar in the consumer unit to the earth terminal provided by the supply company.


What does a hot terminal do?

A 'hot' terminal is a slang expression for the line terminal of an AC supply. In Europe, for example, a single phase supply to a building has three conductors: line conductor, neutral conductor, and protective (earth) conductor. The line conductor has a potential of 230 V with respect to the neutral; the neutral conductor is at approximately the same potential as the earth conductor. In North America, there are two line conductors, which are at 240 V with respect to each other, and at 120 V with respect to the neutral.


Why voltage are not produce in netural wire?

First of all, by definition, 'voltage' is another word for 'potential difference', and a potential differenceexists between two different points. So a single conductor cannot experience a 'voltage' or 'potential difference'. Your question, therefore, should ask why a neutral conductor has no 'potential'. By general agreement, potentials are measured with respect to earth (ground), which is arbitrarily assumed to be at 0 volts.The answer is that a neutral conductor is earthed, or grounded, so theoretically its potential must be the same as earth -i.e. 0 volts. But, in practise, due to the resistance of the conductor that connects the neutral conductor to earth, the neutral conductor can often have a potential of several volts with respect to earth.


What is the required color identification for the core of a protective conductor?

In Europe, the standard color for the protective (earth) conductor is a green/yellow stripe, although in most residential two-core (line and neutral; the protective conductor isn't counted) wiring, the protective conductor is bare.


What is earth fault loop impedance?

An earth-fault loop is the path taken by the fault current, when an earth-fault occurs within an electrical installation, and comprises a series circuit made up ofthe utility company tranformer's low-voltage winding,the utility company's distribution cable's line conductor,the consumer's line conductor to the point of an earth fault,the consumer's earthing conductor,and the resistance of the earth path back to the transformer.The combined opposition of this series circuit to the flow of fault current is termed the earth-fault loop impedance, expressed in ohms.

What are the faults in the cable?

Cable faults are normally categorised as (a) conductor-to-earth (ground) faults, (b) conductor-to-conductor faults, and (c) conductor-to-conductor-to earth (ground) faults. In addition to that, we can categorise them by whether they are 'high-resistance' or 'low-resistance' faults.
