Grounding can be deadly

Sign in to disble this ad
I don't want to single anyone out here, but thought a reminder of the seriousness of electrical systems grounding would be in order. Several posts over the last few days have mentioned AC ground elimination as a potential way to eliminate buzz in systems.

The following article details the needless death of a pastor in front of his congregation. This death was due to an improperly wired system.

Please do not ever look at removing the ground on any of your 120v equipment. Ask for help if you have buzzes you can't eliminate any other way.

Yeah, you go to church one Sunday and watch your pastor die in front of you and several hundred others...
