No, I meant the direct coupling of the ground wire. When we used a

Sorry that wasn't clear.


Careful, as some of those transformers tie the ground wire to negative
and the shielding.

Maybe so, but this one was isolated. I checked that as soon as I knew
there was a problem. It is easy to check with an ohmmeter.

Brutal dictators are routinely reelected by 90+%
margins. Only in a truly advanced democracy can
one win an election by a negative 600,000 votes.
