[QUOTE="David Buckley, post: 63917, member: 2235"] Re: Why An Open Neutral Kills 120V Devices Indeed but you are missing my point. The very use of the word "grounded" implies "like ground", suggesting that it isn't a "live" conductor. European regulations require that you think of the neutral the same way you think of a hot; potentially, it could shock you, its not at all like ground. Hence my observation [I]European electrical folk will raise their hands in horror at a neutral being described with a word like "grounded"[/I]. It is contrary to European regulations. But exactly in accordance with American regulations, and American custom and practice. [/QUOTE]
