Electrocution wouldn't happen if the Neutral wasn't grounded in the network. You could touch a live wire and nothing would happen. But these idiots behind the electrical companies ground the Neutral in every electric pole. So now, the ground is essentially an extension of the neutral wire and when you touch the live wire your body closes the circuit and you end up fried up. So the retard's solution is to just ground homes and use anti-electric shock relay.JUST DONT GROUND THE NEUTRAL YOU MORONS
>>16968056If you didn't ground the neutral then the ground would be live relative to neutral. I used to work QC in a manufacturing environment and our test bench was wired pretty much as you described. Neutral and ground were floating relative to each other because reasons and people were routinely taking minor shocks when touching what they thought "should" be a dead wire. Wasn't a problem worth addressing here because of low current draw in the test environment but I've tested the simulated ground to "true" ground and found a relative potential of ~100V.
>>16968059yea cause the neutral is grounded at the production. if you dont ground the neutral anywhere the current has no reason to go to the groundThink about 1:1 transformers. you can touch the live wire and nothing happens
>>16968060>the current has no reason to go to the groundI want you to think long and hard about what the purpose of the ground line even is.
>>16968063ground line = neutral. the current DOES NOT go to the ground itself it goes to the NEUTRAL THROUGH the ground
>>16968063
>>16968065>>16968068Think just a bit harder.
>>16968056>Electrocution is a man made conceptWhat about step voltage? I hate when accidentily electrocute my balls again.
>>16968056That was the way the power grid was originally constructed. What they found out is that miles of free floating wires were capable of building up thousands of volts of capacitive voltage to ground. It would suddenly discharge itself when some random person turned on their light switch and a 6 foot arc leaped out and cut off their hand. So they came up with the grounded neutral system.
>>16968072Are you just stalling because you can't think harder, so you forgot where you were going and the point you were trying to make?
