In the news clip sent in by Capt. Al it looks like the electrician is measuring the voltage from the ground pin on the receptacle to the sink! Potential from ground to water pipe? Are they not bonded together somewhere?

Around here 300kv lines are alot higher, never seen a light tube light under one? Gonna try tomorrow

From the article linked by TwinCitySparky:

The exhibition, which is on display from 1700 GMT until 2000 GMT each day until Sunday 29 February, is on a hillside near junction 18 of the M4.
How exactly are they turning them off the rest of the time???!

Eddy there is no requirement that a sink be bonded to the electrical system.

In a house with plastic supply and waste plumbing a steel sink is very likely not to be bonded.

Wouldn't the garbage disposal create a bond? (If it's plugged in?)

I bet it would, if it exists or is wired in.

Milli goths? Hmmm... A short person, who hates society, hates corporations, hates "the machine", but goes to "Hot Topic" and spends $49.99 on an anarchy shirt and $24.99 on metal rings to stick in their face....

Doesn't make alot of sense does it?? [Linked Image from img.photobucket.com]

Lostazhell, you forgot that they're a collection of individuals who all dress the same, do the same things, act the same... and spend a lot of time talking about how unique they are and how other people are all the same [Linked Image]
