220V to 110V converter
I beg to differ. The plug in for your welder is part of the system of your home and your garage until it gets out there to that Transformer.
No I'm not in Europe. My father and my brother have worked as lineman and on the Distribution Systems for years. You show me a house with more than one ground I'll show you somebody that's having problems and they may not even know it. There is one main ground and it's usually at your main box the rest of it is grounded through the wiring.
Have an electrician look at your system including your house. It's not worth dying over.
I don't need anybody to look at anything, and you are incorrect, please re-read this thread
1....The OP was looking for a way, I only wrote how I do it. The only thing that is not "code" is the TEMPORARY grounding on the rarely used extension cord
2....There ARE more than one ground on a house system. The house main box ground is the "start" that is the line neutral and the box case ground and the ground stake are all tied together there
When you wire up a sub panel in another building THAT is grounded at that box so IT has a separate ground. That's at least TWO right there
3....If you have a tower IT is grounded by means of multiple ground stakes, and if it has power to it THAT is tied to the tower and therefore tied to the main system ground. That's THREE
4...Plumbing......Gas pipe and plumbing is often bonded to the house system ground and "yes" the gas meter and house water supply both have "dielectric" connectors, but this doesn't mean that an outside faucet might be tied to something else. "Possibly FOUR"
5...Lightning protection.....Some houses have various types of lighting (rod) protection, and THAT is grounded by means of multiple stakes as well as bonded/ tied to the house main ground
SO THAT'S at least FIVE...........separate.......grounds depending on the situation.
Another? ANY metal equipment, such as a welder, or in my case, the outdoor two post hoist. The electrical ground is tied to the metallic box and conduit on the hoist. So the entire hoist is connected to system (green) ground.......traced directly back to the main box.
THE HOIST sits on the GROUND on a metal frame. Isn't that "ground?" I'd think so.
