Editing Ground and neutral (section)

==Grounding problems==
Common grounding problems and concerns can include the following:
* A ground connection that is missing or of inadequate capacity may not provide the protective functions as intended during a fault in the connected equipment.
* Extra connections between ground and circuit neutral may result in circulating current in the ground path, stray current introduced in the earth or in a structure, and [[stray voltage]].{{cn|date=July 2017}}
* A ground connection on a neutral conductor on the load side of an [[Residual-current_device|RCD]] may bypass its protection.
* Signal circuits that rely on a ground connection will not function or will have erratic function if the ground connection is missing.
