I bet you have a fun electrical system :D

I love the reaction when a tech or plant electrician encounters corner-grounded 
delta for the first time. The meter says one phase is missing, yet everything 
is fine! Often coming off a backfed transformer turning 208Y into 480 delta, 
which also apparently blows some minds. I did once see what happens when a new 
guy connects the neutral on the Y primary side.

Thanks,
Jonathan
