Re: Why An Open Neutral Kills 120V Devices
Hill Audio wardrobes! in my youth I well remember those monsters there was a music venue in Glasgow with a 16ft high stage try getting those things up onto there, much hilarity and strong words etc.
Mike UK earthing I suspect isn't much different than what you do in the States, voltages and currents will be different but the basic idea of path of least resistance still applies.
These days we tend to use Cee plugs for most heavy current stuff thankfully the days of wiring into panels are starting to go away and most regular venues and also generators have plugs available, still meter them though and still use the sacrificial PAR can as well. G
