	            	            Great article!

There are a few conditions that should be mentioned concerning residential wiring:

1. a goodly number of older homes were wired without a ground wire at the receptacle. I've seen neutral wires that had a real 5-10 volts impressed on it and at enough amperage to cause real problems. 
2. with time (and poor wiring techniques) some homes have leakage current between neutral and ground which may also create problems.

Being a paranoid type myself, I check my home grounds once a year including a resistance check.

I look forward to the reat of the articles.	            ]]></description>
