The ground system
here consists of a direct connect via a piece of #4AWG to the plumbling

system

entering my home.

What Scott hasn't mentioned is that this essentially gives him the entire
city of Vancouver's copper pipe water system as a ground :-)

The power will be increased to ~300W either tonight or tomorrow.

I will get my generator gassed up for when the power grid trips out.
BTW...has the Vancouver FD been warned in case your end insulators aren't
big enough?
