Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 One example of this is that we found an electric field from our washing machine even when it was off and completely unplugged. It seemed to be due to the water pipes connecting in at the back, and was reduced when we improved the earthing on the water system. Ian _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of SArjuna@... Sent: 25 January 2006 21:03 Subject: Snoshoe's refrigerator Some time ago Snoshoe mentioned that he feels better when his frig is not only off, but unplugged, even if the circuit is turned off at the breaker box. The thing is that even when a circuit is off current can still be induced onto its metal conduit from other circuits, even from water pipes. This can result in the high frequencies of electrical pollution being braodcast from the circuit and anything plugged into it. This is why it's not enough to turn off an electric blanket, but it must be unplugged, and even removed from the vicinity of electric/magnetic fields. When we were in the process of actually removing one conduit from our sytem, the local electrician who was doing it for me asked me to check it with a gaussmeter while the conduit was still attached to the breaker box vs. after he detached it. The circuit was off in both instances, of course. The magnetic field on the conduit increased the moment he disconnected it from the breaker box and it was just hanging there, not yet pulled off the basement wall. The reason is that current was being induced into it from the conduits above and below it. Once it was no longer in contact with the breaker box, the bit of grounding it had had was lost and it actually had more current on it. I suggest that Snoshoe's refrigerator has been a scapegoat.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Posted January 29, 2006 Hi Shivani, This is a very interesting story. I would like to understand it better. When you said: >check it with a > gaussmeter while the conduit was still attached to the breaker box vs. > after > he detached it. The circuit was off in both instances, of course. In the " before " condition, do you mean that the wire was disconnected but the conduit remained, or do you mean the wire and the conduit were both still connected? Also, where along the circuit where you making measurments? Did you use a gaussmeter or a clamp around ammeter?
