A single soft-drawn copper wire, insulated or bare, used for connecting protectors and cable terminals to a ground. Available in 6, 12 and 14 AWG sizes.
Copper conductor used to extend a good low-resistance earth to protective devices in an office.
An extra conductor (usually a bare wire) added to a cable for connection of the grounding path.
a wire connected directly to the bottom of the battery
In cable TV, a copper wire used to connect metallic devices so that they are electrically at "ground potential" (no voltage with respect to ground). See also Grounding.
a conductor that connects electric equipment to a ground rod or other grounded object.
Wire attached to dissipate electrostatic charge on electrical equipment.
A wire that connects all AC powered devices to earth ground.
Braided metal strip, usually copper or stainless steel, placed on or in the seam and grounded to the collector to assist in dissipating static build-up caused by the gas flow.
Wire (that carries no current) that runs from the fixture to metal attached to nonmetal material to ground the current in case of a short (Ground wire is usually bare copper or green).
A green or bare wire in household wiring that is designed for safety. A ground wire is one of three wires in all household wiring. The ground wireâs purpose is to direct any short circuits into the ground instead of through a person.
Also called a grounding conductor, it connects an electrical device to the electrical ground.
The wire which goes from the negative post of the battery to the frame on negative ground vehicles. Another ground wire may be a thick wire or braided wire cable which connects the engine to the frame. Since many engines are rubber mounted, there may be no metal contact between the engine and the frame apart from the ground wire which may also be called the ground strap. In British terms, it is called "earth wire."
In a transmission line, ground wires are wires that run above the usual conductors.
