Im following this also for I purchased a home on Kerr Lake and while doing some maintenance on my dock I got a tingle when in the water and touched my dock, so I got my fluke meter and tested from the aluminum dock to the water and I had 4.862 volts I disconnected the EGC going to the dock like the email is talking about and the voltage went away, so I have disconnect all wiring to the dock until I hear more about this. I only have a branch circuit going to my dock for a light and outlets it's on a 20A GFCI breaker. I'm thinking of driving a ground rod at the base of the light pole where the power comes from the house to the dock and tie it to the EGC in the J-Box at the top of the pole and see if this would fix the problem. Would really like to hear more about this issue. Will Carpenter September 30 2019, 11:58 am EDT
