Floating ground... Okay. That would fit with what I saw up in the attic,
about the wiring used in the house. sigh At least it's nothing really
wierd. Always thought I ought to rewire the house, just didn't want to
tackle that project. Wondering if I can live with it...

Many thanks.

Dave


I once worked for a photographer. He was in his second
studio. The original one burned down. Guess who had floating
grounds


Hmm. Okay, so how could floating grounds result in your house burning down.
Seriously. Never heard of that.

Hi,
If you know what GFCI does, then your question is answered.
Ground wire is for extra safety.
