Merry Christmas -Lights and Gifts

Ah! The Holiday lights and gifts! Many this year will be wireless devices for your home. But have you perhaps noticed any flickering lights that are not made to flicker or devices that you have to unplug and restart to get working? Or that simply will not work. And the repairman can do nothing with? Have you noticed any corrosion around your home or on fairly new appliances? Have you called the electrician to look for a neutral/ground short, only to find nothing? Do you have wi-fry in your home or live near a cell tower?

Can we make a suggestion? Check your grounding electrode, likely a grounding rod. Call the electrician and ask him to service your grounding electrode and do a resistance check on it. That is actually recommended as a general practice, every three years. If he defers, start calling until you find one who is willing and able. Once you get one out, you may have to have a difficult conversation with him about the cause of you electrical problems.

Yes, this is a particularly difficult conversation in Florida where electrician have been installing residential services under very loose interpretations of the National Electric Code (NEC). The NEC code is furthermore woefully inadequate for managing the “electron movement” caused by radiofrequency/microwave (RF/MW) photons as they pass through, and into, your home, your family, your pet and yourself. Particularly metal will give off troublesome levels of “electron movement” Your household electric system can carry RF/MW radiation as low frequency noise known as “dirty electricity.” But what the photons also do is add energy to the building materials and compete with stray voltages for a route to ground, increasing the overall load. While this can be shocking or not, they are more destructive by their oxidation effect (accelerated ageing, diabetes and cancer) and oxidation/corrosion of metal building materials. Yes, and as they tend to end up in places they should not be, they are a fire hazard. They can also render sensitive electronic equipment totally dysfunctional. Consider also, that your nerves and muscles may not take well to these currents running through them. The 4G Restless Leg Syndrome has advanced a generation to 5G Pain.

What to do? We wish we could tell you for sure, but we are just finding out ourselves. We have found an electrician with some courage and integrity to address these problems and we will update the post later if they work. But this is what we found out about the deficient NEC code:

The NEC code generally requires two eight-foot grounding rods, at least 6 feet apart to provide for sufficiently low resistance in the electrical path to ground. Sufficiently low for what? Mostly this is lightening protection. There is a second function that the home grounding system should provide that is generally given little regard. The grounding system should also provide a normalization of the the system, to earth. Years ago I found literature on this subject that a good home electrical system should run no more than 10 millivolts (mV), with a maximum of 50 mV, over the earths ground. Now I can find no such references. I wonder where they went. Our biochemistry operates on the order of 10 and 100 mV. Now what would make sense to you about the earthing of your home electrical system?

I would suggest that getting rid of the stray electricity from your home under the influence of RF/MW radiation will require grounding beyond NEC requirements, starting with the grounding electrode. First of all, to get the full benefit of two rods, they each need to be distant by their length deep. So the distance between two 8-foot rods should be 16 feet. And you may need more than two. I am planning for three.

Florida Power and Light defines the Point of Service as the meter and describes how their grounded conductor from the transformer is connected to the grounding connector at the meter and the breaker box. See page 108 of their manual.

To some extent we may be limited to the degree of grounding that FPL provides at the source transformer location. So we will have our new grounding electrodes and be ready to make the complaint if they are too overloaded. Right now we can complain to no one as our own grounding electrode has not been serviced for 23 years.

All I want for Christmas is to get grounded.
