Hmm, I noticed that yours also has the socket neutral tied to ground like how mine was.

Tony's OV15 had that. Seemed to have been a common practice before the modern green ground wire was introduced.

Even my 2005 115 has that, it doesn't hurt - it's just one more measure of safety.

If no electricity runs through the nuetral, then why is ground needed and why does nuetral need to exist?

Sorry Michael, I missed your comment. The neutral carries current (amps) but no volts,
streetlight98   [Jan 05, 2012 at 02:12 AM]
Ahh. You can't get shocked by nuetral though, can you? If you connect the nuetral to the ground screw and the nuetral fixture lead, would it meet code?
gailgrove   [Jan 05, 2012 at 02:23 AM]
I'm not sure about that, I think under some circumstances you can. Connecting the neutral to ground wouldn't meet code to my understanding though the neutral is what is called a "grounded conductor" in other words the neutral is connected to ground and the service panel, and at the transformer on the street.

I've wired a 3 wire washer that used the neutral(center) as the ground I think
gailgrove   [Jan 05, 2012 at 03:06 AM]
The neutral can be used as a ground and vise-versa however it is not recommended, I have never heard of a three wire washer, maybe a dryer.

I meant dryer lol
