Although the white wire should eventually reach ground potential at the breaker box, it is referred to as the "neutral". The actual ground wire is the green wire. Glen, K9STH

Good point Glen,,, so loose the fuse on the white (ground) wire. - or jumper it if you use a twin fused line. However, chances are the black line fuse would blow and the white line fuse redundancy that is really not needed -- yes the 'box' would be at ground potential not unlike the "old 2 line/wire" house AC line wiring in which the white was ground/ed... But the idea is still that this would/will provide a fused line instead of putting a fuse on the 'black' side within the unit... and of course the fuse would protect better than the 'house' AC line fuse/circuit breaker - e.g. of a much lower current rating.I suggested this for those who had some difficulty/problem putting/mounting a fuse inside the unit.
