I think we are agreeing... See this diagram taken from Grounding and Circuit Protection for Inverters and Battery Chargers - Blue Sea...

@PaulRainbow deserves a medal for his patience with these threads. Consider what would happen if the DC 12v supply cable shorted to...

To be blunt I would say "Complete lack off understanding" I don't mean to be unkind but as usual the OP is completely unsure there is no...

The phases are not the issue . The danger, which is foreseeable, is as you unplug the cable the first plug you take out will have live...

It also depends on where you are. With double pole switches and breakers in common use, when we test installations in the EU, it's...

I don't understand that comment at all. In UK phase to phase voltage is 415V.

I've never tested it but I bet you would get a pretty exciting bang as you plug the ceeform in, hence my 'grenade' scaremongering :) The...
