Post Subject: "Ground" versus "neutral"Posted by Paul S on: 12/7/2007
Romy, of course I have a dedicated "ground" line, but I have never used nothing but that ground for a system's "neutral" leg, as well. Are you saying that you use only the incoming "hot" leg and then send everything - ground and neutral - out via your own ground?
I suppose that the professional builder in me has been slow to go to this, because of code issues.
The "noise" on the average neutral or ground wire can be easily measured or detected with a sensitive induction-type tester. It is certainly exacerbated by other gear on a given line.
Best regards,
