While I generally agree that the green (ground) wire should go through the CM choke, heres an exception: My gas water heater was shutting down whenever I was on 160. It has a grounding cord, but the

It should NOT be tied to the piping.  Look for some dielectric unions at the tank.  Then hook the safety wire back up, right now. Wes  N7WS On Friday, November 13, 2020, 5:48:53 PM MST, K9MA <k9ma@sd

Scott, Why would your "gas water heater" be connected to the house power? You made me recheck mine.  It appears to have a battery in the controller. Mike73, AD6AA      On Friday, November 13, 2020, 5

It is a Direct Vent type, with a blower and electrical ignition. Of course, I verified that the tank was connected to the copper plumbing and electrical system ground. I could connect the green wire

Hi Scott, A much better idea is to invest some time resolving the RFI... If you you have an EE degree or you're a licensed electrician you understand both RFI and the consequences of ground faults al

Scott, I'm confused or missing something perhaps, so wondering if you could explain how it would short-out an insulated green wire if it were wrapped around a ferrite core with the other two insulati

If both ends of a winding of a common mode choke are connected together, its like a transformer with a shorted winding and the impedance of the other windings is reduced. Ill connect the green wire,

I suggest that you study my tutorial on how ferrite chokes work. k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf An effective common mode choke is very lossy in the range where it operates, so transformer coupling through the

Hi Scott, To say nothing about insurance... If there is a fire, and it is traced to the green wire issue, (or if the insurance company can blame the green wire issue), the insurance company may not p

My propane water heater has a design that can vent to a PVC chimney. It has a blower motor that pumps room air into the exhaust to cool it. Naturally, it has an electrical connection. _______________
