Hey, I'm an apprentice electrician from Ontario. In a single phase system like a house you put a ground plate in. But does that really do anything? In case of a fault wouldn't it go through the grounded neutral at the street transformer? And would it even go there? Wouldnt it eventually get back to wherever the original neutral is at the power station? And how is that grounded conductor created? Is a large electrode stuck deep in the ground and that is considered the ultimate zero volts for an entire city? On that subject, when you have an ungrounded camping generator, what happens in the case of fault situation? How is the metal of the generator bonded?

I got shocked with 347 lighting. That poo poo makes you stick.

I get that conductors have expanding and collapsing magnetic fields but I don't truly understand how a hot and a neutral can "cancel each other out" magnetically as to not heat up a conduit and not being able to hook an ammeter around both conductors. Can you explain this concept?
