| Jun 14, 2019 at 11:22 | comment | added | Pavin Joseph | @MarkoBuršič Which path would the induced ground (PE) surge current take? I'm afraid of a scenario where it might cause a surge current to form in the neutral wire (as the neutral is bonded to ground at distribution) and in the PE wire connected to appliance's metal enclosures. Would the latter cause the infamous arc/plasma flashover (high V, hopefully low I) that some people experience during thunderstorms? | |
