This is how GFCI breakers work -- they watch for current "leaking"

No they don't. They look for imbalanced current flow between the two
conductors.



How are you going to get the imbalance without some current finding
another path to the neutral conductor, which is bonded to the grounding
system at the main panel? You two are describing the same thing, from
different directions.



I know that you can be bond headed at times, but really, this is simple

D Yuniskis has it all over you. It's obvious that he knows more about
the subject than you.

Btw.
CLUE:
The neutral also passes through the fault device.

Think before depressing the SEND Button!


Take your own advice, Jamie. You've been told on multiple newsgroups
how GFCI interrupters work, yet still claim they can't be used on two
wire outlets. I posted a link to a Leviton GFCI datasheet, and gave you
the NEC code numbers stating that they are allowed on two wire circuits.
Your reading comprehension is barely third grade level, and dropping.
Your are a typical 'lid' ham radio operator.

You are just a knuckle dragging moron who likes to troll. Go back to
writing your crappy software and leave electronics to people who know
what they are doing. There is no hope for you to ever make a post that
makes sense.
