Sure, but what about the house is burnt during your absence, or your best friend is electrocuted?If I get electrocuted or killed in a house fire, I don't give a flip about insurance.
[/quote] I am not familiar with French mains wiring but understand RCL (like GFCI) are used on mains branches in breaker panels in several EU nations. [/quote] RCL ?? Residual Current something? So many acronyms for essentially the same thing. We call them disjoncteur différentiel. They are installed on the panel. There is supposed to be a maximum of 8 wall-sockets on each branch, located in the same room. Daisy-chaining of earth is allowed.
No, it's not illegal here as long as the line is not significantly changed and the GFCI is not tampered with.Oddly when I replaced my wall oven and installed it myself (probably illegal in France),
That would be illegal; the maker could be sued for inciting to break the law.the instructions advised me to bootleg the oven chassis ground to neutral.
BTW I changed the oven in my NOLA condo; I had to do some guesswork with the colors of the wire. I didn't even have a voltmeter.
