Are Your Streetlights Grounded?
In recent years, there have been a great number of gated or private communities built across this country. These are neighborhoods where the streets and other common use facilities may not be installed or maintained by the utility or local government as they are in public neighborhoods. Not long ago, a journeyman electrician, who had recently purchased a home in a gated community, complained about its ungrounded streetlights. Many thought he was crazy. But, he was right. The streetlights had no equipment grounding conductor (EGC) connection.
