Quote: If the service nuetral opens, do you really want the gas piping to be at an elevated voltage, subjecting the gas workers to a shock?"
how would this be any diffrent for the plumbers working on the water main when the nutral was opened?
How would any elevated potential develop on grounded pipes? wouldn't the OCPD clear any faults? I would think an ungrounded gas pipe would be more dangerous to the gas man, if a hot wire gets laid on the piping, what would clear the fualt, assuming that the gas pipe is servicing a non-electrical appliance?
