Do you guys carry a neutral to 240 V Loads, like Ranges and clothes dryers for the controls, to keep the current off of the bare ground? Just interested in your opinions on this, thanks.

Dude...:wallbash:

It has been required for many code cycles-- 2005 I believe required a neutral and a equipment grounding conductor.

Yes we do. Since 1996

Like, yeah! It's, like, kinda required. Always has been.

but what about apps that dont have a nuetral?

Oh God.

OP said "ranges and clothes dryers" And last time I checked they all got a grounded conductor.

 

[papaotis]

he said 'like ranges and clothes dryers' not 'just' them. and i ran a new wire to a dryer just last week that doesnt have a neutral:whistling2:

But you know better, I don't think he does. Or it's Cletis.

Ranges and clothes dryers typically are not 240V circuits, they are 120/240V circuits.

So, to answer your original question, no, I don't carry a neutral to a 240V load, but I do carry a neutral to a 120/240V load, in addition to a bonding means (and keep the two isolated).

I appreciate the serious responses guys, everyone else, wtf! If you would look it was 3 in the morning after a long day when I made that post, I apologize every word and term wasn't exactly accurate......I've never had to look that up, I'm in industrial!

Oh my god if I hear "I do industrial" one more time.

I'm industrial, so I'm totally oblivious to basic electrical theory.

ET can be a tough place, we get a lot of jacklegs, kooks and trolls. Many here have specialized and would be lost in a new electrical sector. Electrical terms are very specific and a small omission can mean everything.

You did say 240V which was correctly pointed out, does not require a neutral.

But, clothes dryers and ranges are typically 120/240 so feeding a new circuit to one without a neutral might open up a gun battle with an inspector, which would probably not be worth the effort. And, the next resident would have a problem and get a hit by an HO.

Wait, I thought you industrial guys knew everything. I thought a monkey could wire a dwelling?

No.... only trained monkeys can. There's a big difference.
