I do believe I'm finished here...

This isn't quite right. If you mean a series wound motor by cereal motor, then by wiring two in series you will halve the voltage with equal loads. I would assume you will have a race condition upon startup. One motor will accelerate quicker than the other. The slow motor may never come up to...

@Andy Resnick Your pic reminds me of a younger version of my dog. We had to say goodbye in October. Losing a dog is tough to get through.

Ok what you refer to as case #2 has the conduit/protective earth conductor/chassis tied to neutral, but no electrode driven into the ground. It will trip as drawn.

Which is case #2? Specifics please. - I will again state that the scenarios in the links you have provided so far do not relate to the diagram you posted in the first post of this thread well enough to provide an intelligent answer. You are expecting the same yes or no answer for different...

Ok so this is just more regurgitation of your previous thread. Are you Elizabeth in the stack exchange thread? It seems Elizabeth has the same tendencies that you do by asking the same question over again and in separate threads. This image and variations of it continue to pop up here on PF as...

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. If I didn't comment on other opinions then why would I have posted on your opinions? If you post the link to stack exchange I will look.

Causing an internal bypass inside the RCD is how they are tested. Pushing the test button does something similar to what you describe.

After all the other discussion in the other thread(s), how could you not realize this?

Yes it will trip.

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 resistance in that part of the circuit needs to be low enough so that they do not add enough resistance to become a significant part of the total resistance between 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 time of original installation. The conduit did not run all the way to the breaker panel. - As far as what is good primary protection and good...

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 connected to the neutral back at the main panel. It was not required at the time. The metal box and pipe were floating. The USA has used a ground (earthing) rod since...

I don't intend to chase every link you provide since there are endless misconceptions with someone either spouting off how they think it should be or someone else correcting them. - I have run across a situation in a basement where a wire got stuck between the screw that holds the light switch...
