I did not answer your original question as it was too vague, and I was too busy.
Your last post is more direct, however, has nothing to do with grounding of a panel and meter. Your getting shocks off the frig because there obviously is a short in the unit and the ground is open at the cord. We do not know if your outlet is grounded, however, even if it is, does not matter if the ground of the cord is broken. How does the frig giving shocks have anything to do with how to ground a panel? |

Hi TKRUSSELL.The thing about the frig has nothing to do with what I posted few days ago. I just what to understand how the ground system works that's all.About the frig the outlet is not grounded.Should I put a wire from the neutral to the frame of the frig? Would that work? Thank you.

If you are getting a shock from the frig its not due to the lack of a grounded receptacle. The ground would/should provide you protection from shock but your frig has an electrical fault and should be repaired by someone who knows appliances. Detecting and fixing a fault is likely above your current skill set.
