Ground loop may refer to:
- Ground loop (electricity)Ground loop (electricity)In an electrical system, a ground loop usually refers to a current, almost always unwanted, in a conductor connecting two points that are supposed to be at the same potential, often ground, but are actually at different potentials. Ground loops created by improperly designed or improperly installed...
, an unwanted electrical current that flows in a conductor connecting two points inadvertently having different potentials - Ground loop (aviation)Ground loop (aviation)In aviation, a ground loop is a rapid rotation of a fixed-wing aircraft in the horizontal plane while on the ground. Aerodynamic forces may cause the advancing wing to rise, which may then cause the other wingtip to touch the ground...
, the rapid circular rotation of an aircraft in the horizontal plane while on the ground - Ground-coupled heat exchangerGround-coupled heat exchangerA ground-coupled heat exchanger is an underground heat exchanger loop that can capture or dissipate heat to or from the ground. They use the Earth's near constant subterranean temperature to warm or cool air or other fluids for residential, agricultural or industrial uses...
