For those who live with 220V mains, I'm curious if anyone has used 110VAC-to-GND for their projects. I'm sure it violates electrical codes, and there are plenty of reasons why doing that is unsafe, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's been tried by folks here.
GFCI (ground fault circuit interruptors) are commonly used here in the US for some outlets inside homes, usually in areas like kitchens or bathrooms where water is running, and also outdoors. So, exploiting the GND prong would cause a GFCI to trip; it's also redundant because all outlets have a neutral conductor anyways, so using the GND accomplishes nothing. In other words, we can't get 60VAC using GND (yeah, if we *did*, then I probably would have used it). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
