I didn't mean ground, I meant "grounded" which IS the neutral conductor. Thanks NEC for making it all so simple

The "grounded" conductor is what is commonly referred to usually as the neutral conductor. A "grounding" conductor is green and is run to carry a ground between metal parts of a system.

Though it has been touched on a few times in this thread, no one has really pointed out that if you get accost the 2 hots or the hot and a neutral in a GFCI protected system and you your self are not grounded you will still get shocked or electrocuted and they GFCI will not trip. Just some thing to keep in mind.

yeah, we have electricity here. That is, at least until the mice in the drum get tired..........

Across the hot and neutral on a GFCI you will be protected. Across two hots of a 2-pole GFCI (240V) and yourself ungrounded, I am not sure. Anyone know?

Just hope you're not completely insulated from ground. Stand in a puddle barefoot to be safe.... jk

Maybe 2-pole GFI's are dangerous! But seriously, I cannot see how the breaker would sense a fault.
