[QUOTE="Kevin Graf, post: 59103, member: 1897"] Re: Why An Open Neutral Kills 120V Devices The British power system is very different from the type in North America (after all they drive on the wrong side of the road). Jim Brown writes: [I]In the United Kingdom, the bond between neutral and earth is made only at the power utility. Inside the building, Neutral and PE (Equipment Ground) are carried separately to all equipment and outlets.[/I] That's from pages 39 to 41 of his excellent paper: Power and Grounding for Audio and Video Systems A White Paper for the Real World – International Version [URL]http://www.audiosystemsgroup.com/SurgeXPowerGround.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
