How to Fix an Electrical Ground Wire
An electrical ground wire could be the most important aspect of your home wiring. If it gets damaged, it''s important to fix it immediately.

Well, you can bond two electrical terminals together to establish continuity, but if neither terminal has continuity to ground (or a terminal that does), they are not grounded. In Mike Holts video, someone asked him if the grounding electrode conductor can be connected directly to the X0 terminal of a separately derived system (transformer secondary). The main bonding jumper is a critical safety component in an electrical service, responsible for creating a reliable, low-impedance path for fault current to travel back to its source.
