Ther first pole just carriedspower wires, here it splits, like a Y to two other poles. Pole #1 only feeds a water pump through; /archives//html/RFI/2011-01/msg00215.html (8,624 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Jim Brown <jim@audiosystemsgroup.com>; Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 14:49:46 -0800; You need to study the fundamental principles of AC power distribution. A GROUND conductor does NOT carry load current -- it's sole function is SAFETY. The current carrying conductors are the Phase an; /archives//html/RFI/2011-01/msg00216.html (8,874 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: "K8RI (Roger)" <K8RI@rogerhalstead.com>; Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 18:53:54 -0500; I'd add that the green wire is needed for ground fault breakers and outlets to work. Also it causes the fuse or breaker (GFI) to go if there is a short (or leakage current to ground), but over curren; /archives//html/RFI/2011-01/msg00217.html (12,315 bytes)

It's been my observation over many years that all too many hams either do not practice good grounding or even if they; /archives//html/RFI/2011-01/msg00218.html (16,146 bytes)

A connection to earth is almost never part of a solution to an RF or noise problem." And yet no concern for the lack; /archives//html/RFI/2011-01/msg00219.html (8,676 bytes)
6. Re: [RFI] CHECK your grounds. (score: 1): Author: "Rick Karlquist" <richard@karlquist.com>; Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 18:20:10 -0800; I don't see why a GFCI circuit should need a green wire to work. It should be able to detect an imbalance between the neutral and phase currents independently of what is going on with ground. Rick N6; /archives//html/RFI/2011-01/msg00220.html (8,288 bytes)
7. Re: [RFI] CHECK your grounds. (score: 1): Author: Larry Benko <xxw0qe@comcast.net>; Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 21:16:32 -0700; Rick, You are absolutely correct. GFCIs only sense the differential current between the HOT and NEUTRAL lines. Any imbalance greater than ~5mA causes a trip. The current that causes the imbalance can; /archives//html/RFI/2011-01/msg00221.html (8,879 bytes)

I recommend homeowners who can safely look at their wiring do so. I don't care if it was a "qualified electrical technician" that did; /archives//html/RFI/2011-01/msg00222.html (8,929 bytes)

The use of the word "ground" to describe circuit common, or the chassis, causes MUCH confusion and leads to extensive muddy thinking. That muddy thinking extends to WRONG question; /archives//html/RFI/2011-01/msg00224.html (11,763 bytes)
