That's not a reason, that is an excuse. Cowboy up.Ok, for right now I'm stalled, Reason #1 it's raining....

Other reasons are, I got to get some more scrap copper tubing for ground electrodes, The tubing works the best because I drill a few pin holes in the sides and fill them with salt water. Salt water makes a huge difference.
I got to get some cheap, or maybe scrap wire. I am not using up any more of the MTW from my truck. I'll end up on a midnight emergency and be 2 feet short of what I need the way my luck goes.
I want to take a trip to my buddy's scrap yard. I want to find some transformers for boost buck, and Isolation. I also want to find some small 3 phase motors, capacitors, and whatever else looks interesting.
BTW, Dennis
With a 4 foot length of 3/4" copper tubing sunk to a depth of about 3 1/2 feet, filled with a strong salt water solution, and one 120V hot wire,,,,
AND hooked to a boost-buck hooked to boost @ 32V. My 3/8" Millwalkie drill runs as close to full power as I can tell. That is when the rain started and I gave up
The power supply company should be blamed for this:the primary neutral of the distribution transformer is connected to the secondary neutral.This causes stray current to appear as such.Well with nothing electrical at all connected to the water service in my house, and just a piece of 14 gauge wire coming from my ground rod array in the back yard (about 100' away). I have 2/10 of an amp flow give or take. Is that high, or normal? I understand the parellel neutral thing. It just seems higher than I thought.
This is the extent of the circuit. I have eliminated everything else.

Remember the connection to earth for voltage measurements is only required to be the impedance of the meter you are using, a DVM can make these measurements with as little as just the end of the probe sticking in the earth, using copper in most cases is a waste since the connection to earth will never be a low enough impedance connection that would make any difference if is was a steel rod or even a piece of EMT, if you looked at the link I posted above to Gary's experiment in post #14, I think all he used was EMT.

No way.I think if instead of star-star transformer,delta-star transformer were used through out the country,the stray current problem would not matter much.Question, as both the primary neutral and the secondary neutrals will be connected to earth how would you prevent this connection?
Well now that's different. There is never a bad time for a good slice of pizza....Then I remembered the left over pizza in the fridge,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Things went downhill after that:happyno:
It sure would, but you need to add some new wires and equipment as well. Come on over. Be sure to bring some wire and tools we'll get to work.No way.I think if instead of star-star transformer,delta-star transformer were used through out the country,the stray current problem would not matter much.

I think maybe he needs to take care of a few problems closer to home first.
There is no such a forum of 'brilliant 'minds here........
Here in India,the electricity distribution is through delta-star transformers and there does not appear to be any reported electrocution in swimming pool due to stray current from power system.I think there may be many such cases in the U.S..........It sure would,

Sorry I don't see the connection
I don't see how a delta /.star system eliminates shock potential
