Answer:
Greetings Priscilla,
Based on the information provided in your question, the answer is no. We are assuming that your mentioning of the term "ground wire" that you are referring to the equipment grounding conductor of a circuit. Equipment grounding conductors carry current only when preforming to facilitate overcurrent device operation. If you suspect this condition in your question exists we recommend you contacting a licensed electrical contractor to investigate this issue.
