I already told you I was not going to chase every link you provide. - What you are describing I already described in post #30.

It is my opinion that the electrodes driven into the earth need to be good enough to reliably trip a GFCI. In other words, the...

In the case that I gave the conduit was a protective sleeve that terminated into the switch box. I won't comment about if it was safe at...

The point was that this sort of thing happens "in the wild". The real world example I gave did not have the conduit or switch box...

I don't intend to chase every link you provide since there are endless misconceptions with someone either spouting off how they think it...

You cannot guarantee that the chassis of an appliance will forever remain isolated from the earth. A washing machine is connected to...

Yes. You have the correct idea. In the USA we refer to the RCD as a a GFCI. A receptacle that contains GFCI protection is protected at 5...

@gen x . Concerning your last diagram in post #17. Assume the chassis of your appliance is isolated from the actual earth. You've drawn...

Both diagrams in post #15 will cause the RCD to trip as they are drawn. But the way they are drawn do not guarantee a floating system...

@gen x Have a read. What I described in the above post was covered on the thread below. Not sure why I couldn't find it earlier...

@gen x the link you proved in post #12 makes sense. The user named transistor is basically correct although I will say that a fault the...

Isolated/floating systems are also used in places where a fault would otherwise trip a breaker and the loss of power would cause a large...

Have you done a search here on PF? It's been discussed. You will get the same answers from the same people in this thread that have...

It takes time, you cannot get that understanding quickly. Start by following every relevant link on Wikipedia and look at the references...

If you are just comparing pumps to see which can achieve the highest vacuum I don't see why you even need a vacuum vessel. A hose with a...
