It was suggested to use a GFI for applications where a NEC ground was not availableWhat is the reason for not using a earth GND on the enclosure?
It should be because the 120VAC ground should be tied to residential earth ground of the power panel.@123Ken123 So the 120vac is not referenced to earth ground by the sound of it?
That was not explained off the bat.It should be because the 120VAC ground should be tied to residential earth ground of the power panel.
The NEC does not require a transformer case bounded to earth ground?That was not explained off the bat.
With an "enclosure" could have meant a system using a 120vac transformer where the 120v may not have been re-referenced to earth GND!
Have I given enough information to answer the question? REF: Would a GFI remove the requirement of a NEC 120 VAC bonded ground for enclosures?I am referring to a control transformer in such as a control enclosure where the secondary is isolated from earth ground, and where it is permitted to earth ground one side of the secondary in order to set up a secondary grounded neutral
I have read the NEC many times on this subject. I need a second opinion.Have I given enough information to answer the question? REF: Would a GFI remove the requirement of a NEC 120 VAC bonded ground for enclosures?
I have given the exact nature, thanks for the communication.The exact nature of the installation equipment is needed, so far details have been sparse!
It likely is an extension of this thread where he didn't get the outrage he wanted - so he started a new thread and introduced the GFCI into the mix. He has announced he is ignoring most of the people who tried to help in the last thread.So far I have not seen any indication on the nature of the conductors, and what environment they are used in or the application?
The silly questions from others distract from the pure post of my top post.And you never will. He is being purposely obscure.
