Great bunch of replies here, from all you members! Thanks for the stories and info!
Bjarney, LOL about explaining the Grounded Conductor to the Maintenance Crews! Great story!
Iwire (may I call you Bob? - makes more friendly this way),
Hope this thread covered the topic enough and helped explain the system.
I am not the best for describing things in a simple or concise way, so if you have more questions now than before, feel free to let me know.
Paul,
I like the term "Earthing" a little more than a general term like "Grounding", but I am biased by thoughts of other systems and what the term "Grounding" could include!
Could be very relavent to a common envelope / frame, which is by no means even near Earth Ground! (Automotive Electrical Systems, Aircraft Electrical Systems, Electronic Equipment, Space Exploration Equipment, etc.).
I have to keep in the context of Terrestrial based AC Power Systems, in order to keep from causing unnecessary confusion to people, in regards to Grounding methods.
If this was more accepted terminology, I would go all-out in descriptions!
(humor, but you get the point!)
Thanks again, everyone! Glad the material was enjoyed and presentable!
