[AT] : Ice Storm

[charlie hill]

Bob if you are running a drill with a 3 prong plug (old type, metal frame 
drill) and you are running it from an ungrounded generator set I can't see 
where you even have a neutral.  Wouldn't it be the same as if you cut the 
ground lug off the plug?  Therefore the 5 milliamps could not bleed off. 
OHH!  I think I see the point now.  You guys are saying that if 5 milliamps 
go to ground through ME it will trip the breaker regardless of the ground or 
neutral circuit?  Now it's starting to make sense.
