How do you ground electricity from an outlet?

Question

If I wanted to make my own outlet, how can I ground the electricity that would go through it?

Answer 1

To ground a circuit, you have to start back at the circuit break panel. Or even before that. Outside your house near the Meter is a ground rod, its connected by a copper wire to the grounding bus in the power panel, and for a house, the Neutral conductor is also grounded here. So from this point to any point in the house, you have to run three wires or conductors, such as a green, white and black. The green wire is called the grounding conductor, the white wire is the neutral or also called the grounded conductor, and the black wire is the hot wire or the power wire. You connect all three wires to the correct point on a receptacle and you will have a grounded outlet.

OH OH OH, If you have an existing receptacle, and you want to ground it, you need to run a green wire back to the circuit breaker panel, if the existing receptacle does not have a terminal to land a ground wire on, replace that receptacle with a new one. Also you can run the green wire back to the cold water copper pipe but not a plastic pipe, and if you do that, then you also need to run a green wire or bare copper wire from the circuit breaker or fuse panel to the cold water pipe any place close to the panel.

Answer 2

You DON'T unless you want a short! You connect the ground part of the jack to a good ground, like water copper pipe, via the third wire in the power conductor(Romex) (usually green).

Answer 3

There should never be in par-ell with the neutral and never have current flow in your safety ground.That means that the neutral and ground at the transformer.
