Re: What Is Electrical Grounding?

Reading this thread compelled me to visit the E&S Grounding website, esgroundingsolutions.com. They've cleaned up the definition that started the thread, but looking through their "Ask the Experts" stuff made me cringe - I didn't know where to start my rebuttals. I started with one that confused lightning protection for telephone, cable-TV, and similar lines at point of dwelling entry with "lightning rods". These folks are scary - and it's not just their spelling (power chord instead of power cord, for example).
