Which color wire is connected as earthing or ground?
Green wire or yellow with green striped wire is connected to the ground for earthing. The brown or red wire is connected to a line and blue, white, or grey wires are connected to neutral while green wire or bare copper wire is connected to earth or ground.
Green colored wires are used in an electric circuit for grounding. It is important for the green wire to be connected to the green wire or to ground only. It is specific for ground based circuits.

ReplyDeleteThe yellow with green striped wire is typically connected to the ground for earthing. This wire ensures safety by directing any leakage current away from electrical appliances to prevent electrical shocks.
ReplyDeleteHere’s a summary of common wiring color codes:
Brown or Red Wire: Connected to the line (live wire or phase wire).
Blue, White, or Grey Wire: Connected to neutral, which completes the circuit back to the power source.
Green or Bare Copper Wire: Connected to earth/ground, which provides a direct path to the ground in case of a fault.
In most modern wiring standards, the yellow with green stripes wire is designated for grounding or earthing purposes, ensuring electrical safety.
ReplyDeleteThe ground wire is typically the green or bare copper wire in most electrical systems, ensuring safety by directing excess electricity safely into the ground. It plays a critical role in preventing electric shock and maintaining circuit stability.
