Hello sparkies
I have stopped by because i have a slight problem in my house.
I am a master plumber, I have worked with you guys for years,
I hope you would be so kind as to steer me in the right direction.
when my AC kicks on, my lights blink.
From what I know, that aint good.
I have a 200 amp service so that is not the problem
any guesses as to wth is up?

We ground everything and just how hard can that be. The USA is a lot more simple than the UK when it’s grounded it’s grounded and I stand by my work if you think we don’t know what we’re doing come on over and show us how

I'm not talking about whether you ground things though.
 
Megawatt, I was trying to point out that the post you took offence to was actually replying to someone else. Calm down a bit and re read the thread.
 
Yeah we certainly have our fair share Mw, although and I'm not including your good self, most of the YOUTUBE VIDS of US electricians, don't appear to have any test instruments in their tool kits, as well as not appearing to do any actual testing, you knoe hook it up and switch on scenario, could this be that only the DAs you speak of publish YOUTUBE VIDS?? or, I suppose it's a case of the few spoiling the reputations and competences of the many, which I hope fervently is the later case.
Pete I can’t speak for you tube people or any body else but I have a fluke meter, 2 meggers, rotation meter, and an AMP probe plus 2 more meters that I just have for spares

Ma I'm not questioning you. it was/is more a general observation from limited resources regarding US Electricians, certainly not saying that testing is better or worse than what occurs in the UK, not taking sides either.

But when it is grounded how do you prove that it is grounded with a low enough resistance?
How do you know that there is no damage to cables which are hidden?
