What wire of an appliance connects its metal base to the ground through the household wiring?
The green or green/yellow wire in an appliance connects its metal base to the ground through the household wiring. This wire is known as the ground wire and is an essential safety feature to prevent electric shocks in case of a fault.
Can you connect a 3 wire 120 Volt with ground to a 2 wire House wire has black and white and ground Appliance has black red white and ground?
To answer this question fully the type of appliance has to be stated and its voltage.
Why do churches have a copper wire attached to the ground?
The wire connects to the lightning rod located on the highest elevation of the church. If the church takes a hit from lightning, the wire makes for an easy low resistance path to ground with minimal damage to the building structure.
What is the stem of the mushroom called?
The stem of a mushroom is called the stipe. It is the elongated structure that connects the cap (pileus) of the mushroom to the mycelium in the ground. The stipe provides support for the cap and helps transport nutrients within the mushroom.
Why it is important to properly ground your electrical appliances?
The ground wire is the low impedance and direct return path to the distribution panelboard. The ground wire carries any fault current back to the panelboard. This fault current is what trips the circuits protection. This protection can be either a fuse but more likely an electrical circuit breaker.One common mistake in the electrical trade is the thought that the ground wire connects to the neutral bus or wire. The ground wire does not connect to the neutral wire or the panelboards isolated neutral bus.The ground wire connects to the ground bus in the panelboard. This is an non-isolated bus that is threaded directly to the panelboard enclosure. The only place the ground bus and the neutral connect to each other is through the neutral bonding screw. This is a screw that goes through the neutral bus and threads itself into the enclosure of the panelboard thereby picking up the ground bus.

What is the the purpose of the ground wire on an appliance?
If there happens to be a fault on that appliance the ground wire is the faults path back to ground.
How would you ground an electrical appliance?
Most are grounded through their power cords. Modern cords include a ground wire that is connected through building wiring to a grounding rod.
The long tube in the ground that connects the magma chamber to earths surface is called?
pipe
How does a three pronged plug help you from getting electrocuted?
The ground prong connects to the metal case of the appliance so that if there should be an internal wiring fault that connects the "Hot" side of the house voltage that it will immediately short to ground, which will let a large amount of current to flow and cause the breaker to trip; rather than float and let a person touch the case and become the ground and get a shock.
What do you call the support of a building that is usually constructed below ground level?
The support of a building that's usually constructed below ground level is called a basement. Sometimes it is also the "Base" contruction of a building.
Can you connect a 3 wire 120 Volt with ground to a 2 wire House wire has black and white and ground Appliance has black red white and ground?
To answer this question fully the type of appliance has to be stated and its voltage.
How do you ground an electrical appliance?
Most appliances these days all ready have the ground connected right from the manufacturer. The appliances that only have a two wire feeder are usually are double insulated where the inner electrical components are isolated from the outer appliance frame. The appliance's ground wire is connected internally to the frame and is connected into the electrical system through the ground pin of the cord cap that connects into the ground socket of the receptacle. <<>> You can attach the ground wire of the device to a coil, a transformer for instance, or you can use the neutral pole of the power supply (not recommended) as a ground point, and finally you can connect the ground wire deep into the hole previously digged on the earth outside of your home. For appliances with a big intensity of the current it is advised to build the classical grounding procedure that only an electrician can do. Showers require a correct ground connection, but you can use also a coil as ground, a coil like those ones used on an ignition circuit of a car.

What is a basement appliance that can heat your house?
A basement of a house is the room or space that is below ground level. A basement appliance that can heat your house is a furnace.
What the name of the cement at the bottom of the house near the ground?
The cement at the bottom of the house near the ground is called the foundation. It provides support for the structure by transferring the load of the building to the ground.
Explain the difference in construction between an appliance that has a 2 pin plug and one that has a 3 pin plug?
If an appliance uses 120VAC and it only has two pins on the ORIGINAL plug, it must be insulated to protect the user from the possibility of electrocution. If an appliance uses 120VAC and has pins on the ORIGINAL plug, the third pin (the long round one) connects directly to "earth ground", to protect against the possibility of electrocution when you or anyone else touches the metallic case.
