The body of earth is an excellent conductor, in fact it carries the return current from all our electricity consumption back to the source. Body of Elle is also an excellent conductor and man who get too close inclined to perspire from case of hots. > What is the difference between induction and common > earth coupling? Induction is when two conductors lie along side each other and the current in one induces current in the other by magnetic coupling. Grasshopper should not lie too close to magnetic body as induced currents may cause temperature to rise and reason to be lost. Common earth coupling occurs when two electrical loads share a common earth path, thus superimposing the current patterns of one onto the other. Grasshopper should avoid common earth coupling and consequences could lead to load being discharged suddenly with potential consequences of generation of third earth path. This drains current account. Cheers Billy |-{) (With inscrutable look) |

| 238027 | 2004-05-21 07:55:00 | An idea. An electric fence inside a house would have several applications. Main one being to keep SWMBO out of the computer room and HWMBO out of the kitchen. Baldy ;-) |
