Ok, I remember your mantioning that awhile back. So your power is 240
ungrounded but with a ground wire, er. I mean an earth wire. :-) I am an
electronics technician, or rather I was one before I retired. And we used to
banter about the issue of the advantage of an ungrounded electrical system.
Ours is 240 Volts too but that consists of two 120 V legs. The center of the
system is grouneded. I always came down on the side that said that
ungrounded is good but 240 is not. Of course with neither side grounded then
you would only get shocked if you came in contact with the two sides. The
fuse in the AC cord does seem a bit strange. Is it easy to overfuse. We
don't have fuses just circuit breakers. But in the old days some people
would put a copper penny behind the fuse. If they forgot to replace the fuse
they could have an electrical fire.
