When devices are grounded in most electrical system the grounds are combined without order or separation. The same ground that connects the metal box, the yoke of the electrical device and other devices is the same ground that is used at each outlet. This rarely causes any sort of problem except for sensitive electronics such as hospital equipment, high end computers and high end musical equipment.

In an isolated grounded receptacle the ground wire is insulated and comes directly from the panel to the ground connection of the receptacle. This type of grounding should produce less electrical noise on the system.

When an isolated ground is required does this mean a separate ground uninterupted from the main service panel or can you take separate grounds to the outlets that require isolated grounds from a sub p?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.An isolated ground return to the panel means that the wire used for the isolated ground must have insulation on it. This is so that the isolated ground does not touch any adjacent metallic parts of the electrical system until it is placed on the ground block in the distribution panel. On isolated ground receptacles this is accomplished by using a three wire feeder. Black and white wires used as normal receptacle connections. The red wire with a green identifier tape installed to the isolated ground terminal of the receptacle and the bare ground wire to the green frame screw of the isolated ground receptacle.

Can you connect a ground to a neutral bar?

In any distribution panel there are individual bars for each termination. The ground buss is in direct contact with the metal enclosure. The neutral is isolated from the metal enclosure. The only place where the two come into contact with each other is where a bonding screw protrudes through the neutral bar and into the metal enclosure.

What does an isolated ground mean on a 12 volt alternator?

This might mean the ground is isolated from the case of the alternator. In a normal application, the case of the alternator is the ground connection and being bolted to the engine block via a metal bracket, the grounded case of the alternator is electrically connected to the ground lead of the battery which is also connected to the engine block. An isolated ground might indicate the alternator ground is electrically insulated from the alternator case.

On a 77 GMC 350 HEI system with a new pickup coil why can you get no reading for resistance between either wire and ground What could cause this you can get resistance readings everywhere else?

The resistance to ground should be infinite, becouse its an isolated circuit. Any resistance to ground less than infinity would mean there is a short to ground.


What do you mean when we say hat an object is grouded?

In Electronics, a "grounded" object is one that is connected to the ground through a connection that allows electricity to flow the ground. In some circumstances, for instance in a car, the rubber wheels make the car isolated from the ground, but electrically a large piece of metal can be called the ground, like the engine block or body of the car. ground in electronics is somtimes spelled GND.


Is a isolated storm a tornado?

No. An isolated storm is simply a thunderstorm that forms in an area where just a few other thunderstorms are occurring. Such storms generally cannot produce tornadoes. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. The thunderstorms that produce tornadoes usually come from stronger and better organized systems than those that produce isolated thunderstorms.
