[RE-wrenches] neutral ground bond in EG4

[jay]

I just got an email back from them saying the following.


There is no solid bond but the following will allow voltage to be detected between neutral and ground.
Internal EMI filters or transient suppression devices that connect the AC lines to the ground.
A small leakage path to ground via these components, which can result in measurable voltage.
Is this common with other brands such as sol ark or midnite?

thanks

jay
