A shock of the severity you describe is not to be taken lightly.<br /><br />Return to the hardware store and buy a couple of 1/2" diameter copper-clad steel grounding rods, 8 feet long or their metric equivalents. These should be driven into the ground near the outside wall and next to the electrical service entrance (breaker panel or fuse box) 6 feet apart. The upper ends should be below the surface of the ground. Run a #4 or #6 bare copper wire from the neutral bus bar in the breaker panel to the grounding rods and secure them with copper-clad clamps (also from the hardware store). Connect the neutral bus bar to your steel or copper cold water supply pipe. Run a jumper from the supply line to the outlet line of the hot water heater.<br /><br />Connect all your ground and neutral circuit wiring to the neutral bus bar. At the other end, check that each electrical outlet ground is connected to the grounding wire. <br /><br />In Britain and Commonwealth Countries, the term "earth" is used in place of "ground".Walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840320227941110842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686809739798389289.post-89703683224800525412009-09-07T10:48:52.769-07:002009-09-07T10:48:52.769-07:00Jesse - I thoroughly enjoyed the vision of your el...Jesse - I thoroughly enjoyed the vision of your electrified appliances in your home.
