Yes that was the exact problem I was having here. My original thought was to grind a small hole in the floor and pound a copper stake well into the earth under the house.Douglas Schuch wrote:As a follow-up to my earlier reply, I am facing the same situation as Andy here in the Philippines. So I got around to pounding a piece of rebar into the ground right outside the window beside my steel and ran a wire from the 3-prong to 2-prong adapter and attached it to the little ground tab those adapters have. That adapter is on a 3-wire power strip - so anything I plug into the power strip that has a ground prong gets grounded. A couple of hose clamps holds the wire to the top of the rebar.
Hi Douglas,
Previously, if I played barefoot, or even touched the metal of the steel while standing on the tile floor barefoot, I would get a small shock. Now? No problem.
Then connect it the same way you did. I just wasn't sure that would solve the issue.
We also have 220 volt 50 cycle power here. Not sure how that compares to 110 & 60 but they both suck when they travel to your hand.
And for you;
