Ground Wire Explained

The video tutorial explains the roles of load, neutral, and ground wires in electrical systems. It highlights the ground wire's function as a safety measure, carrying current only during ground faults. The ground rod's purpose is to dissipate static electricity and high voltages like lightning. Electricity prefers paths with low resistance, and the ground wire provides such a path, ensuring safety by tripping breakers during faults. Ground wires are connected to metal appliances and outlets to prevent electric shocks. The video also warns about the dangers of high resistance paths, which may not trip breakers, posing a risk of electric shock.
