K9YC, W3FPR, W4TV and others have certainly raised my interest in the art and science of "grounding" vs "earthing" in the grand scheme of things as specified in the NEC and other sources. But there has been such a proliferation of messages over several days, the net effect of which is to leave me massively confused. Could someone synthesize this into a set of practical guidelines which are NEC compliant and technically correct.
While surveying the stuff in my shack, I see boxes with two connector unpolarized plugs, two connector polarized plugs, three conductor plugs with a ground stud, and three conductor plugs with no ground stud. In my shack I have a mix of 240 and 120 vac boxes. These are on separate circuit breakers, the main panel is located at the opposite end and one floor up of a fairly good sized house. Just for fun, I have copper pipes but the well pipe is plastic.\ Jim/N1NK K3/100 2295 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
