Everything I've posted about hot-skin voltage!

Wow, I've written a lot about hot-skin causes, dangers, troubleshooting and mitigation. Read it all below...

Here’s everything I’ve posted about hot-skin voltage…

You had a lot of comments and questions about my recent article on Surge Protectors preventing hot-skin voltage. As promised, here’s what I’ve posted on hot-skin theory so far. And yes, I’m doing much deeper level studies on RV and Marine grounding failures that cause hot-skin shocks and Electric Shock Drowning.

A few quick answers:

I’ll post in-depth articles on a few of these topics next week…

1. A pedestal mounted EMS Surge Protector can’t detect a broken ground conductor in the shore cable or inside of an RV

2. 50-amp EMS/Advanced Surge protectors from Southwire Surge Guard and Hughes Watchdog can detect and disconnect your RV from an open neutral downstream of their location

3. No, reversed Hot-Neutral polarity by itself will not cause a hot-skin voltage, as long as the rest of the RV wiring is correct

4. There’s a lot of good reasons why the Neutral and Ground conductors in an RV must remain isolated from each other to prevent multi-path neutral currents
