ATX to Amiga 2000 PSU shell experiment

Here in the States with 120VAC you have a white wire that is common ground and a black or red wire that is "Hot". The only difference between the white wire and the green ground wire is the white is grounded at the power station and the green is grounded at the Breaker box.

Fair enough, point being its grounded on power company property. I tell all my customers it you have more than a .2 volt difference between common and ground there is likely a problem.

I've found many problem sites where the common was bad and the machine tries to return thru the ground, and they wonder why they get a shock and the machine doesn't work.lol

@Gertsy,

RCDs? Is that like a ground fault interrupt?
