I disagree with Boris about his stance on the ground though. It's not to prevent surges or protecting equipment, it's about protecting people.
I'm a member of Local 98, Philadelphia. I wonder how many other I.B.E.W. brothers are here.
I'm going to look up that running a separate wire thing Boris. I'm procrastinating about doing housework, so this is just the thing I need.

I didnt say it helps with surges. I said you can't guarantee having a ground will help with surges. I agree with the safety for people. People think its mostly for electronics safety.
Ya let me know about the separate ground code. I usually work in commercial and industrial so I forget about some of the house stuff.
