I have seen some VERY WRONG utilities in PA using a single wire on rural connections years ago, utilizing a ground return path, which is EXTREMELY hazardous. I would hope they have all been changed by now. No, they can have a single energized (ungrounded) line, and a grounded line, but must have 2.
That is what I'm wondering. Can the 2nd line just be the same wire that grounds the secondary. In other words getting the 2nd primary wire by just plugging into the earth?
