I certainly wouldn't want to bet on it for protection from electrical shock. That is not even its purpose. Its sole design is to pick up the slack that a neutral didn’t carry fully. Either a small leak or harmonics caused from such things as a computer PS, or what ever. In fact, thanks to my dedi...

Dean I think most were sloppy which is why they worked. Most regulators that I have done this way were the LM series, they were always on or just off, they were already close in value, and the diodes even with the small drop simply didn’t allow them to talk to each other. They weren’t "prec...

Most of the units I have seen, don’t dump the full current to ground. Sparks could fly. Also ground can vary hugely from dry sand to wet soils but if you want to see your ground and its effective value, do Like I did last night. We have excellent soil values here with metals in the volcanic soil a...

Were still waiting. You said you could read the code, how about producing it, or was that extra points when you did your exam? Any Apprentice who becomes a Journey Man, then a E.E. that is worth his weight in salt wouldn’t be wasting everyone time with fantasy, they would pull out their book or go...

Pure fantasy writings and wishful thoughts, no where in the code 250.24(A)(5). does it say “forbiddenâ€

Lets consider Rshayes post to Nuts and volts forum, VS his amateur status and speculations? Im sure he was in print at least 60 times over in the last decade or so,.... so much so that his word is equal to mine or better on all these subjects? [were waiting for any claim by you,...no?] Then aside fr...

Instead of calling it rants,.... try calling it the truth. [The clique calls you] Instead of giving us rhetoric,.... try a spice model, Thevenin’s theory, CAD, or any other method will do. Dont cry either when you fall on your face. ##### Some specific conditions are provided where grounding conne...

I wont debate "Grey" areas, and I wont debate the newer codes. They make laws, .....end of story. [there is a reason, make it better] What I can say is the system isnt perfectly sound even today as a requirement. [Im sure its still not?] Im sure the laws and codes want to move on, thus the...

Not even close. Not even on planet earth. Grounded Neutral Conductor. Where the system bonding jumper is installed at the secondary system ..... And then well, the equipment bonding, how you going to avoid that one. There is not one single mention of the word FORBIDDEN + neutral grounds, so do try a...

Try again, but this time blow your smoke some where else. So if the grounded (neutral) conductor carries current in normal operation, then there should be efforts to maintain the insulation integrity of the grounded (neutral) conductor and to generally avoid multiple connections to grounded items. N...

I was on a isolated Island that had a kerosine fridge. The thing worked off a candle like wick and flame as the heat source, and as I remember it keep thing cold for weeks at a time using tiny amounts of kero. In sure the old propane versions could be modified to use even a kerosine flame as ours up...

No where in the section 250.24(A)(5). does it state this cant be done, in fact figure 6 shows it to be called “Equipment bondingâ€

The ground is so poor, it makes that perfect contact between you and the lightning? The ground is so poor, they use it as a return path for Single Wire Earth Return? The Ground is so poor, they use it as the backup for Railroads and Tram leaks? The ground is so poor it’s a back up for neutrals? Th...

The problem with hiding behind the math is it becomes just one more way to miss the bigger picture all together, making the whole proposition just a myth. Both Al and my own writings in this whole post, are the only true and unchanged facts so far while the rest of the posts here are at best 25% tru...
