Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code will not permit grounding through neutral. If used in new construction after January 1, 1996 or in a mobile home, recreational vehicle or if local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral white lead, attach the appliance grounding lead (green or copper) to the residence grounding conductor (green or bare copper) in accordance with local codes.
