Green Wire Ground Ceiling Fan

If you have a blue and black wire coming from your household circuit you should have two switches on your wall.

Green wire ground ceiling fan. Now coming out of the fan are 3 wires and the green ground. Copper or green wire is the ground wire and keeps your fan from experience power surges. The ground wire carries displaced electricity away to reduce the risk of electrical shock if let s say the metal parts of the ceiling fan or any other appliance or part attached to your electrical system becomes accidentally charged. Leave the green or copper wire that s coming out the ceiling unattached for now.

Also avoid using it as the neutral wire despite connecting to the same bus at the main panel. The instructions are woefully scant and do not account to the 6 wires from the ceiling. There is a green ground wire on the ceiling fan mount plate. If you had a red wire coming from your ceiling it is hooked up to your wall switch.

Twist the copper ends of the wires together to connect them together. The wires are black black white and white. The color indicates it is a ground wire. Typically a green wire is attached to your fan bracket and the other green wire is attached to the fan itself.

The ground wire doesn t carry any electrical current unless there is a problem in your electrical system.
