In a message dated 5/30/2006 1:19:21 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, r@somis.org writes: a 4-wire 240v circuit, the ground wire (Grn) as well as the neutral wire (Wht) carry zero current. Red and Blk carry all of the current. ABSOLUTELY WRONG! FIRST OFF, A "SO CALLED" 4 WIRE 240 CIRCUIT IS REALLY A 240/120V CIRCUIT. THE INTENT OF SUCH A CIRCUIT IS THAT SOME 120V CURRENT WILL BE DRAWN AND A NEUTRAL IS REQUIRED SO THE WHITE WIRE WILL INDEED CARRY CURRENT. IF A DEVICE ONLY REQUIRES 240V AND NO 120V THE WHITE WIRE SHOULD BE OMITTED ON THE RECEPTACLE AND THE PROPER ONE USED. THERE ARE DISTINCTIONS WITH 240V AND 240/120V RECEPTACLES AND PLUG CAPS. _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/amps |
