[QUOTE="Twisted, post: 1836776, member: 43517"] You should make sure everything is [B]bonded. [/B]The difference in the available current of all objects is what shocks you. An electrical cord and the ground for instance. There is a huge difference in the voltage of the 2. You can rub your stocking feet on carpet and build up the electrical current in your body. Touch someone and get a jolt, that person does not have to be grounded to get shocked, they only have to have a lower voltage than you. Try this, hold hands with someone while you are rubbing your feet on the carpet. when you release hands, you will not shock each other because you both hold the same voltage, but you both can shock someone else, When you use anything electrical as a heater in a stock tank, it is best to bond or ground the tank and anything else conductive around it, as in tin siding and or fence and fence post. as long as everything around is of the same voltage, you won't get shocked. Ever wonder how they can use electric lights in a swimming pool? it because everything conductive around that pool is bonded together with copper wire, even the rebar in the concrete. [/QUOTE]
