RE: AC neutral return caused main fuse to jump

wlee,

The neutral conductor is a "grounded" conductor when properly applied. You may have a neutral conductor where the continuity to the grounding buss is interrupted. Usually, you see this in old installations. I've been "Bit" a few times by house wiring with current carrying Neutrals. Go through all of points of use in the circuit in question and ensure that the neutral flows back to your ground buss with no exceptions. This note assumes that you haven't done something stupid with your "please shock the piss out of me" amp ;> )

Stay Safe please
