Ground Wire Attached To Water Pipe at Debra Lynne blog

Ground Wire Attached To Water Pipe. Examine the visible parts of your plumbing system, such as exposed pipes and fixtures, for the presence of grounding wires. Water pipes have been used extensively in the past as a grounding electrode. Although the nec allows a few other options [section 250.130(c)], the best place to connect a ground (when retrofitting) is on the ground bus of the panel where the circuit is connected to its breaker. The wire (grounding electrode conductor) from the panel neutral bus is connected to the pipe clamp on the city side (within 5 feet of where the pipe exits the house underground and before the. Water pipe connections are not testable and. If you are able to follow the wire you may find it is used to bridge an electrical discontinuity in the plumbing (you'd see this across your main water meter) or to carry a ground. Buried metal water pipe makes a good ground for the electrical system and is commonly used for grounding the homes electrical system. The ground wire (the equipment grounding conductor) goes from the receptacle back to the electrical panel where the circuit originates. In most older homes the electrical systems are.
