In Reply to: Current surge on the neutral. posted by Al Sekela on November 18, 2010 at 13:54:01:
Al, I've been thinking about it (always dangerous) and can't visualize how it could damage a device on another circuit.
As far as I know the neutral and safety ground are always hooked together in the breaker box (at least around here) and that node is grounded to the local ground and the common from the transformer. So what's the path through the dishwasher?
We just had to put in a new dishwasher this year as the old one could no longer hold it's water, as it were, and although a cheap one it's got a microcontroller and a sea of buttons and LED's on the front instead of a rotating timer that I could make sense out of. But it actually washes a lot better much to my surprise. Now we shall see how long it lasts...
Regards, Rick
