I'm upgrading from propane to electric and have become confused regarding using neutral as a ground.
My outlet is 3-pronged with hot red, hot black, and neutral white. Reading in terms of grounding, I've read don't use neutral as ground because is dumps stray current to the body of the kettle and won't trip the breaker until you touch it and the shock through your body flips the breaker. Having no ground at all seems even more sketchy.
My setup is straight forward: outlet to a switch, switch to a temp controller, temp controller to element. That said, which diagram should I follow, or are they both wrong?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
