Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Steve, I just had a thought!

Steve, you said: "The earth isn't some magical one-way current sink where all your nasty stuff can drain away to never to return."

So how would you describe this scenario?

Go outside and take a "live" 120v extension cord with you. Stand on a moist patch of ground bare feet[ed], and then touch the hot lead of extension cord only. You will definitely get electrocuted, caused by current going thru your body to ground.

So ground is draining away the current, to never to return....wouldn't you say?
