    Trailer mounted temp ground?

    Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, not always. When ever I had a "problem soldier" I took him out after duty hours, with a bundle of 9 foot long ground rods. Emplaced my folding chair someplace near, but not to near. Instructed him to start driving the rods. Driving 20 rods in soil that...

    Trailer mounted temp ground?

    The only problem with Tennis shoes keeping you from being bit is this. If the gen set is hot, and you touch it, you should not get bit. BUT, if the gen set is hot, you touch it and have your other hand on anything that is grounded, you are the path to ground. And are in trouble.

    Trailer mounted temp ground?

    I can not answer that question. I spent 20 years in the Army, and just can tell you what they drove into my head. I have seen RV's here in Germany grounded. In the last 48 years I have only spent max, 2.5 years in the States. I could only speculate about what goes on there. I have most...

    Trailer mounted temp ground?

    I was one of those guys dragging cables. In HAWK ADA, I was for many years in the "Jump, or AFP" platoon. We got kicked out to go to a new site so as to set up our missile system, and when we were operational, the Base platoon, as well as another AFP, (Assault Firing Platoon) could move to our...

    Trailer mounted temp ground?

    All gen sets come with a ground rod and cables. All trailer mounted gen sets come with a ground rod and cables. If they were not needed, you can bet they would not be there.

    Trailer mounted temp ground?

    No. Simply no. If you do not ground the trailer, you become the ground when you walk over to do something to it. I know people who have not just gone to the hospital for getting shocked by a trailer mounted gen set, but have had to be medically retired due to the damage the shock caused their...
