Like.
Then it is odd that you would repeatedly claim that it is circuit theory in the face of well reasoned objections. When I am in such a... -

No, it doesn't. First, one of the three basic explicit assumptions of circuit theory is that there is no magnetic coupling between... -

The problem that I have with Dr Lewin's presentation is that it is a scenario which explicitly violates the assumptions of circuit... -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread A few questions about RCD.I did not say that. I said I will not continue to chase endless links that you provide in an attempt to support your incorrect position... -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread A few questions about RCD.Causing an internal bypass inside the RCD is how they are tested. Pushing the test button does something similar to what you describe. -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread A few questions about RCD.After all the other discussion in the other thread(s), how could you not realize this? -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread A few questions about RCD.Yes it will trip. -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread Why must residential electrical systems be connected to Earth (soil)?.I already told you I was not going to chase every link you provide. - What you are describing I already described in post #30. -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread Why must residential electrical systems be connected to Earth (soil)?.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... -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread Why must residential electrical systems be connected to Earth (soil)?.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... -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread Why must residential electrical systems be connected to Earth (soil)?.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... -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread Why must residential electrical systems be connected to Earth (soil)?.I don't intend to chase every link you provide since there are endless misconceptions with someone either spouting off how they think it... -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread Why must residential electrical systems be connected to Earth (soil)?.You cannot guarantee that the chassis of an appliance will forever remain isolated from the earth. A washing machine is connected to... -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread Why must residential electrical systems be connected to Earth (soil)?.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... -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread Why must residential electrical systems be connected to Earth (soil)?.@gen x . Concerning your last diagram in post #17. Assume the chassis of your appliance is isolated from the actual earth. You've drawn...
