So are there circumstances where a GFCI test plug will give a false 'bad ground' reading? I knew all of the outlets in the upstairs of the house I'm renting had bad grounds so I installed a few GFCIs where I would need them, but I thought the first floor had grounds run, and the GFCI tester indicates bad ground on all of the three prong outlets in the house. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that someone replaced most of the two prongs in the house with three prongs just so they can watch TV

Herp derp I can't read. It's a GFCI tester though and it has an LED that lights for bad ground so I'm not sure how the circuit logic works on it and if it could allow a false positive if it's used on a regular three prong instead of a GFCI outlet. Somehow I suspect nothing in my house is grounded though...

chrisgt posted:It's not my house, I just rent. I pulled the offending outlet and put the correct wire to neutral and hot. Now I have 0v between neutrals and 240v between hots. Huh, interesting that there was enough leakage in the power supplies to energize the case then. It's permissible to install GFI protected three prong outlets on an ungrounded circuit, as long as they're labeled "NO EQUIPMENT GROUND" you do not jumper neutral->ground though for the reasons I stated earlier.

I'm still confused about the balance I had once that had 24V between the pan on top and earth, despite running off a 12v wallwart.

All that the GFCI test button does is complete a circuit between hot and ground with a resistive load of just enough amperage to trip a functioning GFCI device. The logic circuits that control the indicator lights are separate from that.

Maxwells Demon posted:Trains probably have to consider stopping distance and making sure none of their payload is blocking traffic the half mile back. I'm not sure if they are required to stop for any accident that doesn't impair functionality, or what benefit them doing so would have. Lol, no. In the US a train could completely block off a small town for weeks with no repercussions. The laws governing trains were written at the federal level, by the train companies, and can't be overridden by state law. Any state is free to write laws governing trains. They're even less effect than the states with a lower minimum wage than the federal minimum.

The ground fault itself is tripped just due to current imbalance between live and neutral, regardless of what path the return curent takes instead of the neutral. It's not quite the same without the ground, especially with regard to EMI, but I dont know the specifics

For that I assumed there had to be a bond between ground and neutral (hopefully in the distribution panel...). But I have never taken one of these things apart to see how they work. I should do that.

The GFCI doesn’t do anything with the ground wire. It’s passed directly through to the outlets, same as it would be in a dumb outlet. It is not monitored or interrupted in any way.

I've never lived in a place where the ground was actually connected to anything. Also, at my grandmother's house, there were no wall outlets so everything had to be connected to light sockets. The pull chains for the light sockets themselves were hot, so it was very common for people to head into the bathroom, start pissing, fumble for the lights, and zap the hell out of their dick. (Yes I zapped the hell out of my dick.) Dip Viscous fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Mar 2, 2021 |

evil_bunnY posted:This is the sound of my headcap blowing off. Every place I've ever moved into, the outlets are so worn out that anything you plug into them falls out from gravity. I replace them, and I've seen three possible grounding setups. 1) Nothing 2) 1" wire to connect ground to neutral 3) Wire that looks like a ground but is actually only long enough to disappear into the wall and doesn't actually connect to anything

I was playing HL2 when it first came out and was really impressed by the surround sound effects of the water dripping until I realized a bunch of water was dripping through the ceiling of my bathroom. I went upstairs and knocked on the neighbor's door, they said they called maintenance and it was dripping from the wall. I later learned that it was actually the toilet and they didn't know how a water shutoff valve worked, which I could have easily done for them if they didn't make it sound like a burst pipe in the wall!

When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a wall on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up.
