Thanks all for reading this post, I have been reading for years. This is the first real issue I've had that I didn't know or could google the answer.
Scenario: Remodel of an existing restaurant/ installation of new LCD televisions
The issue is I just got reemed by the AV installer screaming that I ruined his newly installed televisions. I found the finish carpenters moved two of my piped metal boxes down to make there install fit better, they unscrewed the set screws and pulled boxes down with wires already installed. Problem is I lost the ground to my last 3 television receptacles, and he is saying I fried the insides of his residential TV's, they ran fine just had the tv lines from the grounding issue. Is this a likely scenario, wouldn't me pulling the ground and properly grounding the boxes remedy the line issue.
Second issue - He gave me more s*** about having 6 of his TV's on with a small merchandise room. Had to because he gave me the wrong specs on the TV's. I had never been asked to supply dedicated TV circuits but I did anyway. My question is why would there be an issue with installing a TV or TV's on the same circuit with some other lighting, or is he going way overboard.
There have been no lightning strikes or power outages or surges that I am aware of. Everything in the building is working and properly.
Thanks for any responses
