Geez!  Twenty-nine years of doing this, and I *NEVER* knew that a ground

In this case - whom NOT to talk to regarding ground.

Does the NFPA's NEC Article 250 mean anything?  Do you realize that your 
power source from the utility has ONE ground at the service Entrance?  I 
guess it can't possibly work since "It is a DC ground.".
