Well, again it appears that most everybody missed the whole point of the exercise of posting the info.
The point is, with this change to a central load center and disconnect or connection point, the entire issue of sparks or arcing is eliminated.
Sorry, but I'll have to stand by my comments of condenser being there to 'absorb' current as it flows to ground.
Regarding electron flow, one may look at a device, say a lamp, and a storage battery. Latest electron flow theory says electrons flow from negative to positive. Seems obvious if that's true the electrons flow from grounded lamp to battery? So then why not just disconnect the battery and let the lamp light itself, if the current is coming from it and going to battery? Makes a lot of sense, huh?
Some of you may have noticed that if you don't have a battery in the truck you don't have any electricity. You might also have noticed that when you install a battery and make the electrical connections that all of a sudden the accessories are powered up? Does that say that the battery only allows the electrons to flow to it, allowing current flow from all accessories and devices? No, it says that the battery is the source of energy in the circuits and power flows from it to the devices. That is conventional electrical theory.
Anybody that wants to believe it flows in the other direction, have at it, that's your business.
I'm surprised, though I shouldn't be. All I intended was to pass on information on how to improve your trucks. I thought the post was about as 'potentially' [pun] harmless as it can get. Guess I was wrong, huh?
Regarding electron flow: in a circuit it is thought that as one electron flows out to ground a space is left behind. This space is then filled by another electron and current flow is established. If you envision a power source on the North, and a device consuming power on the South, then current flows from North source to South destination. However the 'holes' that open up with each moving electron's passage will be traversing in the opposite direction, from South to North. This is because the last electron closest to destination must move out of the way first, in order to be replaced by another coming from direction of source.
From that it is all a matter of terminology to describe the events, and some choose to describe the North to South movement of electrons, conventional theory, while others choose to use terminolgy favorable to envisioning spaces for next electron, South to North, calling it electron flow to explain events. It is all a matter of terminology, how one CHOOSES to describe events.
Information at the Dodge link explains it well. Please read it before you hit me with another 'correction' of my writing, thanks. |
