ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues current on the ground wire

That's an interesting article (on the AWWA)
It makes me wonder if they won't just start using pvc in new construction just to force the installation of other Grounding means.

Thank you Don(resqcapt19), That does make sense.

Interesting...not only does the AWWA not like it, it has maintained that position since 1913 !

I spent nearly 12 years working on navy ships, which (are supposed to have...<G> ) are completely UNGrounded, I.E. to get 120 volts you have to have 2 hot wires(at roughly 60 volts each), and no neutral, Each circuit had 2 fuzes, 1 for each leg.... I learned a long time ago, that for current to flow you must have a complete circuit... Since the neutral goes back to ground somewhere...your going to have current flow.....
