ground wires
Fault current paths
Ground wires are electrical conductors that provide a safe path for current to flow to the earth in case of a fault, preventing shock and fire.
In household wiring, ground wires are typically bare copper or covered in green insulation, connecting outlets and appliances to the grounding system: Make sure you connect the ground wires before closing up the junction box.
