getting bit by my FT-101EE chassis
"Ron" wrote in message ... OK that is one case where your need two failures to cause a hot chassis. NEVER NEVER NEVER connect safety ground and neutral together on an exposed metal chassis, PERIOD! NEVER. What if some duffus uses a hardware store cheater on the radio, because he house ONLY has the older two slot wall sockets? 50/50 shot that the chassis and cabinet are hot with 120 VAC!!! The white neutral and black hot should go to the load, the green safety ground goes to the metal cabinet. Also, tieing the neutral and hot together defeats GFIs. Pete |
