Four‐wire systems are superior to three‐wire systems for serving single‐phase loads and are predominant in North America. In addition to safety, it is cheaper to build the system because a

The National Electrical Code (NEC) considers multiple ground wires connected together, terminating on the same ground terminal, or connecting to the same grounding electrode conductor as one conductor.

Use three conductors for this setup: a hot wire (usually black), a neutral (white), and a ground (bare or green). Ensure the conductors are long enough to reach both the source and destination, with some

The ground wire can be attached to the metal box by means of a grounding screw or clip. If several grounding wires are used, these must be bonded together, typically in a wire nut or other

If you have more than one circuit in the box, tying all the grounds together is not necessary as long as you separate the EGC''s of each individual circuit and make sure they are all
