Is a neutral ground bond plug safe
This is just a curiosity question, I'm not getting shocked and I'm not planning on building a neutral ground plug. I read on here about hot skin issues where a person is getting shocked by their RV...

Thanks for trying to explain it to me. I think I'm slowly grasping it. Though I'm going to have to sit and mull it over for a while.:)
wa8yxm- I read your post a few times and then it hit me. When you're talking about 60v you're talking about an inductive current where the magnetic field from the electrons moving through the hot wire are creating current in the adjacent wire.
Then (and here's where I start to feel old) I remember running a test to prove this on the floor of my garage and posting it here on RV.net many years ago.
I can't find the post now, but I remember using a modified plug with only the hot wire and maybe a ground connected. Using a multimeter I could read 60v on the neutral wire.
