This is going to take some explaining so bear with me. In any electrical system were one of the current carrying conductors is to be bonded to Ground, and thus to all of the Equipment Grounding Conductors, it must only be bonded at a single point within the structure. Since we are talking about...
The difference is that the trailer is not bonded to anything else except the conductive exteriors of portable tools and equipment, except those that are double insulated, that have an Equipment Grounding Conductor (EGC) in the flexible cord which brings the power to each of them.
There is a...
No it is not as good a ground as if that assembly had been made with tinned copper wire and copper plated stakes. But neither of those would have stood up to field service. Both the copper cladding and the tinning on the wire would have been damaged during each installation.
That said it is a...
The issue of Touch Potential cannot be resolved by Grounding a Generator. That can only be done by installing an equipotential plane under and around the Generator or the vehicle on which it is mounted and bonded to. That is not a practical thing to do in mobile applications. It is only done in...
This is not intended as a contradiction but only as a point of information. Tires are not insulators! The embedded steel belts and the additives used to stabilize and drastically slow the vulcanizing of the rubber; in those tires that have natural rubber as an ingredient; assure that all tires...
If you are going to ground you may want to use a Surface Wire Grounding System. This is the way the military now grounds vehicles and dismounted vehicle transported shelters. The Surface Wire Grounding Kit comes in a bag a little larger than the ones used as mechanic tool bags. Testing done at...
Here are the requirements for trailer mounted generators taken directly from the US National Electric Code (NEC).
"Vehicle-Mounted Generators. The frame of a vehicle shall not be required to be connected to a grounding electrode as defined in 250.52 for a system supplied by a generator located...
That list includes a video codec, shockwave flash, and a content decrypting tool. None of those has a whitelisting option which I can find. They also do not appear to have any add blocking function. I did whitelist steelsoldiers.com in the popup blocker which is a part of Firefox so that cannot...
I haven't been able to find one to turn off that makes the ad nag message stop so obviously I don't know. Firefox blocks third party tracking cookies so maybe that is it. Why should I allow Steel Soldier's advertisers to place trackers on my computer so they can see everyplace I go on the web?????
I've checked every Icon in the top bar. I still do not find one that says "add blocker" or any other program which looks like it is controlling what I see. Is it possible that the popup blocker is the culprit?
I really have tried to turn of add blocker for this site but I haven't found the right setting yet. I've turned off the tracker ban which worked for the other sites I was willing to do that for but I still get the Nag message. Since the Nag message is a Popup it cannot be that. I'm at a loss...
