The whole thing is just so stupid. Like yeah, sure, the way people use these might be idiotic as well, but at least take the goddamn time to wire it up to a plug that won't electrocute you if you look at it funny. It's probably less work than making one of these in the first place!

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:Have you ever had a visual field test? I'd love to see your results. I've got patches of missing vision in the centre of my left eye due to retinal swelling after a bike crash. I get the same thing where I mostly don't notice the gaps but if I concentrate on them (or close my right eye) they're usually the same colour as whatever is adjacent. I had an electroretinogram afterwards which measures the nerve responses, my right eye looks like a mountain, my left eye is a volcano. I used to crash the software on visual field tests because it tries to draw a circle around the edge of your vision but can't do that if you're missing bits in the middle. I haven't had that issue for about 10 years now, newer machines seem to handle it fine.

The $7 outlet tester I have paid for itself immediately. Check your work! Glad I checked each outlet as I went along and caught the mistake ASAP, doing it correctly on the rest.

Platystemon posted:The red one is a switch loop for a floor lamp. Or they're making a multi-branch circuit so they can overload the neutral wire. I rented a house where basement outsets were wired this way, except they used the ground wire as neutral and the white/black as hots. I didn't know this of course until I put my home office down there, plugged my laptop into one outlet and something else on my desk into the other outlet. I got a real nasty shock one day and discovered over 200v between a USB port on my laptop and something else on my desk. Needless to say I threw a fit about this to the landlord.... who wired it himself and thought he did a good job!

Kind of happy with the most common state here being "two live phases at 240V to each other, ground, no neutral". Keeps people from playing weird games with the neutral.

Nowhere (besides a weird part of philly) that i know of has two phase power. If you just have two wires with 240v between the them, one of them has to be ground referenced at the pole, in the breaker box, or something, right? If you simply had two completely isolated, floating outputs from the transformer a ground wouldn't be useful since one wire faulting to ground would do nothing except make the situation more dangerous. As annoying as the split-phase setup with two legs and a neutral can be, it's actually safer. It means that even though you have 240v between legs, you only ever have a 120v ground fault voltage; even if you touch a 240v appliance you should only get a 120v shock to ground (unless you screw up really good).

If you just have two wires with 240v between the them, one of them has to be ground referenced at the pole, in the breaker box, or something, right? I'm in Norway, most of the country is wired IT style where you only bring the live phases out to the consumer, who provides their own protective ground. The 240V phase-to-phase is the desired consumer equipment voltage, and the phases are indeed just 120V or so to ground. I don't know how the transformer side is wired, but the phase-to-ground is supposed to be stable - that is, the DC component is 0V to ground. Presumably that means the transformer is referenced to its local ground, so the largest difference you can get between them is some sort of function of the ground conductivity?

I found a school book that I think is for the high school electrician course: here. It's made by some sort of county/school cooperative, so it's even free and open. Though in moon language, ofc. "Sekundærsiden av energiverkets transformator" -> The secondary side of the energy company's transformer "Gjennomslagsvern" -> Spark gap, literally "through-strike-ward" "Lamper (tofase)" -> Lamps (two phase) [presumably as an example "normal" load] "Trefasemotor (AC)" -> Three phase motor (AC) PE is Protective Earth, and L1-3 are live phases. my translation posted:IT-net says something about how the transformer belonging to the energy company is designed. IT is short for "Insulated Terra". This means that the neutral point of the transformer is insulated from ground. To get an insulated neutral point, we use something known as a disneuter, or spark gap. This insulates the neutral point as long as the voltage is low, but if the voltage between phase and ground rises past 500V - e.g. under a lightning strike - the spark gap will short and connect to ground, and thus transform the IT net to a TT net - TT being short for Terra-Terra. This means the neutral point is grounded in the transformer, and so are other exposed parts.
