Can someone explain the shock hazard to me. I don't doubt that there is one. I just don't understand the theory behind it. The grounded neutral is also bonded to the ground rod which is driven in the earth. Wouldn't it be the same as a person touching the bare #6 awg grounding electrode conductor which is installed from the service panelboard to the ground rod? There is no shock hazard with that example.
