Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
You did not read that right It is similar but not the Edison system - the one we use is SIMILAR to the Edison split DC system! A *split-phase* or *single-phase three-wire* system is a type of

Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
Yes, it is known as the Edison split phase system, see:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power#:~:text=A%20split-phase%20or%20single,-wire%20direct-current%20system.JimLogic: Method

Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
"Edison" split phase system? Edison fought the AC system - he was the DC guy Grounding and where neutral and ground interconnect depends on where the main (i.e. first) panel is located. After that

Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
Leon, RE you should CHECK AND INSPECT it from time to time Check IT the neutral only ? or IT the local grounding only ? ¡­ as far the neutral is concerned, how do you go about testing it

Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
That's the way it is supposed to be.? But to be SAFE you should?CHECK AND INSPECT it from time to time, things can and do happen. Recently my internet connection on the power?pole was cut by a

HT-46
Some time ago there was a topic about a frequency shift when switching from standby to transmit and a problem with the calibrate switching function for CW operation in the HT-46. Today I ran across a

Testing the waters for a SX-28 cabinet intact and in good condition. The SX-28A I'm finishing up needs a nice cabinet to go with it. Let me know what you have. Thanks, Tom W3TA

Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
Yes, that's what I understand, too, and we have the ground rod (two) in place and properly connected to the service entrance panel. But with the neutral coming from the power company's transformer at

Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
Ya Jim, that or a close variation depending on where you live; the local grounding being variable with ¡°soil¡± or rocks or sand. It was the neutral [grounded neutral] that was open so my neutral

Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
Isn't the neutral line grounded in the Edison split phase system at the pole mounted transformer and again at the service entrance of the residence?? Every house I have lived in had a copper clad

Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
Maynard, it was the connection at the pole in my case; anyhow as someone said, the so called ¡°neutral¡± can not be guaranteed to be at ground level. Sent: Monday, January 6, 2025 9:18 AM To:

Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
That happened to mine, too, some years ago. Measurements showed that the neutral lead coming from the power company via the service entrance had a loose connection which the power guys fixed quickly

Re: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
James, I certainly was not the one to say any topic is stupid. That is like the idea of a stupid question. What would it take to make a topic stupid? Now that you remind me, the neutral to my house

Hi Don, I agree, it's a stupid topic.
