Ground (electricity) A typical earthing electrode (left of gray pipe), consisting of a conductive rod driven into the ground, at a home in Australia. Most electrical codes specify that the insulation on protective earthing conductors must be a distinctive color (or color combination) not used for any other purpose.
Grounding (discipline technique) Grounding is a general discipline technique in the United States, Canada, and other countries, which restricts children or teenagers at home from going out or pursuing their favorite activities, except for any obligations (for example, attending school, religious church services, or any medical appointments).
Electrical installations. An earthing system (UK and IEC) or grounding system (US) connects specific parts of an electric power system with the ground, typically the equipments conductive surface, for safety and functional purposes. [1] The choice of earthing system can affect the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the installation.
Grounding (metaphysics), a topic of wide philosophical interest. Grounding, a strategy for coping with stress or other negative emotions. Grounding in communication, the collection of mutual knowledge, beliefs, and assumptions; "common ground". Ground (electricity), a common return path for electric current.
Ground and neutral. In mains electricity, part of a circuit connected to ground or earth. A shorting bar connecting ground and neutral in Swiss industrial building (outlined in red). A hunk of copper is visible that is designed to be easily connected or disconnected from its place between two screws, rated for 600 A (as stamped on it).
Grounding in communication. Grounding in communication is a concept proposed by Herbert H. Clark and Susan E. Brennan. It comprises the collection of "mutual knowledge, mutual beliefs, and mutual assumptions" that is essential for communication between two people. [1] Successful grounding in communication requires parties "to coordinate both ...
Floating ground. A floating ground is a reference point for electrical potential in a circuit which is galvanically isolated from actual earth ground. Most electrical circuits have a ground which is electrically connected to the Earth, hence the name "ground". The ground is said to be floating when this connection does not exist.
Ground loop (electricity) In an electrical system, a ground loop or earth loop occurs when two points of a circuit are intended to have the same ground reference potential but instead have a different potential between them. [1] This is typically caused when enough current is flowing in the connection between the two ground points to produce a ...
