In a typical grounding system, a ground wire runs from the power tool (in this case, a circular saw) to the grounded plug. Another ground wire runs from the grounded receptacle to a grounding bar in the service panel. A copper ground wire extends from the service panel to a ground rod or other grounding means in the earth.
