>>>Where would the electricity flow to when you ground a midpoint of a secondary if no other line is also connected to ground?<<<

i've pictured the secondary [like the primary] as a lot of freed negative electons searching for the positive ground, and don't see why that path isn't provided by that center tap off the negatively charged secondary to the positively charged ground

we still can't connect a wire from an ungrounded conductor to the ground without flashes and sparks. thats what i'm working on.

i get this, 7200v is generated, comes to the pole on one phase wire into the top of the txfr, across the txfr secondary its stepped down to 240v, a neutral is center-tapped on the secondary phase windings, 2 lugs on the side of the txfr are the ends of those windings 180 degrees out of phase and will measure 120v from each one to the neutral tap that is a third lug on the txfr cannister that has a connection to the pole-to-pole ground wire and to a pole-to-ground grounding wire. but there's a point up there inside that can where the neutral wire comes off the secondary windings and is connected to the neutral lug that is connected to ground, WHY DOESN'T THAT SHORT WIRE CONNECTION BLOW UP?
