If there was resistance behind the cable then it would be a lessened flow reaching the ground and the issues of the burning ground/cable would occur before hand, if the wire itself is to small of a gauge what others suggested and i have pondered before hand then it would be an easy fix going with a larger size wire that can handle such load/current.
