Ground wires are, essentially, a type of insurance. When a neutral wire does not function, a grounded wire will ensure that an appliance does not give off a dangerous electrical shock.
Ground Wire - The wire that carries electrical energy to a receptacle or other device in contrast to a neutral, which carries electricity away again, normally the black wire.
Grounding Rod - Rod used to ground an electrical panel.
Copper ground wire with attached ring (the safest bet for exterior lighting)

Ground Wire
1. Electrical wire which will safely conduct electricity from a structure into the ground. 2. A wire attached to dissipate electrostatic charge in airless spraying.
Grounded ...
The ground wires must be spliced together in order to maintain the bond of the home electrical ground system. In this fixture box the ground wires are twisted together, then a crimp-sleeve is placed over the wires and crimped tight.
The ground wires had been twisted together, but not connected to the outlet.
In some of the J-boxes the ground wires had been wrapped under a screw head. In this case there was no attempt to fasten the wire to the box.
Hook up the ground wire to the fixture's base plate. Strip the hot and neutral wires and secure them to the respective track terminals.
You mean the ground wire from the fan, right?
If your house has modern wiring there should be a bare copper wire in the box or perhaps several twisted together and finally if the box is a metal box connected to a ground screw on the box.
5) Attach the ground wire
Fasten the ground wire (green or bare copper wire) to the ground screw of the new receptacle.
9) Connect the ground wires from both cables together with a wire nut and another short piece of ground wire, connect the short piece of ground wire to the green terminal on the GFCI.
To make sure the ground wire is properly installed you can check it using a multimeter set to test resistance. Touch one end of the multimeter to the metal body of the dryer and the other to the ground prong of the plug.
First, I attach the ground wire to the green screw on the frame. There are really only two additional connections. The black wires are twisted together and secured with a wire nut. Then the white or neutral wires, are handled in the same way.
"2-wire cable," such as 14-2 and 12-2 (which indicate wire size) refers to a cable with two insulated wires, not counting any ground wire. Likewise 3-wire cable has three insulated wires, with any ground being additional.
All ground wires should be properly secured to the ground wire or the neutral/ground buss, depending on the panel.
Neutral wires should be properly secured to the neutral wire buss.
Instead of running a ground wire, or connecting a ground connection to the outlet, you will rely on the GFI function to provide the personal protection. It is not the same thing, but for most instances it is better.
If this is a simple three wire set-up (one black wire, one white wire, one ground wire), it is not necessary to note how it is hooked up to the outlet.
Every solar module has a predrilled and labeled hole in the frame for a ground wire, and you should use a bare solid-copper ground wire to connect each module.
Note: To ensure that the electrical assembly is safely grounded, the switch must have its own ground wire, and the metal conduit and fittings must be grounded.
Secure all the wires including the ground wire to the connector unit. This will energize the track.
Measure over from the closest wall to make sure the track is even.
Secure the track with screws and then slide the track lights into the track.
Attach the white wire to the silver terminal on the receptacle, the black wire to the brass terminal on the receptacle and the ground wire to the box, if the box is metal.
Use care to match the size of the original cable. If No.
The cable is then connected to the service panel, which should be located within 1 foot of where the cable enters the building. The ground wire need not be insulated.
Properly install the cables in the device boxes and terminate your ground wires as per code rules and accepted trade practices.
Step #3
At the switch box, splice the incoming neutral or white wire to the white wire going to the light box.
Also test the system's ground wires to be sure there is no short in either of the two wires.
Step 3: Install the Mesh Sheet ...
Watch Tim demonstrate this method on his Underground Wire Tunnel Video.
This chisel point was made by cutting the pipe at a 45 degree angle.
Touch one of the probes of the multimeter to a known ground, such as the metal outlet box or bare ground wire. Touch the other probe each of the three wires.
Whether direct-wiring the power source or installing an outlet plug, the operation is the same. On the bottom of the disposal, firmly secure the ground wire. Then connect like-color wires: white to white, black to black.
This system is suitable for installations requiring large motors. It consists of three hot wires and one ground wire. The voltage in each hot wire is out of phase with the others by 1/3 of a cycle, as if produced by 3 different generators.
Attach the white electrical supply line to the white wire from the light fixture using wire nuts (screw in clockwise direction). Repeat the procedure with the black wires. Attach the ground wires together and to the electrical box at the grounding ...
Ground System
The connection of current-carrying neutral wire to the grounding terminal in the main switch which in turn is connected to a water pipe. The neutral wire is called the ground wire.
Grounding Rod

Make sure to connect the black house wires to the black fan wires and the white house wires to the white fan wires and then ground the fan to both the metal box and the fan. Wirenut the ground wires from the box and the fan and the power supply ...

Phone / CATV - Installed, not touching vent pipes, not in return air chase

It will have two screws of the same color holding in place two black (hot) wires. The white wires will be capped with screw-on wire connectors or taped with electrical tape. The bare or green wires are ground wires (in a grounded switch).
Connect the ground wires from the box, the fan and the power supply together with a wirenut, there may be a pigtail wire on the fan which you attach to the box with a screw.
Higher-amperage heating appliances will use a two- or three-wire cord of 14- or even 12-gauge wire. Two-strand cords include one hot wire and one neutral wire. A three-strand cord will have one hot wire, one neutral wire, and one ground wire.
