Dimmer switches create Dirty Electricity and painful pressure in the head of my client

During my professional whole house EMF assessment we discovered four things.

1. Ambient DE coming in from the utility was about 800 GS units. This is a result of DE creating devices in homes sharing the same transformer as this house: dimmers, solar inverters, variable speed pool pumps (and more). There was a Fronius solar inverter operating on this house.
2. Dimmer switches in the kitchen of this house increased the DE level up to 1,300 GS units.
3. This DE can be filtered to acceptable levels: 54 GS. Better filters can reduce this even lower.
4. Replacing all dimmer switches with ON/OFF switches will be very important and easy to do.

EMF Electrician in Bonner’s Ferry Idaho

My client in Bonner’s Ferry ID. needed expert electrical trouble shooting and repair to correct violations of the National Electric Code, NEC which were creating hazardous magnetic fields.

My client knew there were violations before I left Sacramento for Bonner’s Ferry so I helped my client find a qualified and experienced trouble shooting electrician in advance who would be onsite when I arrived.

It worked like clockwork and Marty of West Side Electric Service did a fantastic job of tracing & fixing the violations; the magnetic fields disappeared as a result.

Marty will provide expert electrical trouble shooting and repair in northern Idaho and surrounding states.

Solar inverter next door creates discomforting Dirty Electricity for my client in Davis Ca.

After about 2.5 hours in their new house my client did not feel well and had to leave. The house next door has a PV solar system on the roof and probably have higher DE levels in their house: they may feel even worse.

Extreme Concern Dirty Electricity (DE), 1250 GS units, was detected, measured and filtered during a real estate pre move in EMF assessment. Since all lights in my clients house were OFF this DE is coming in from the grid: it is from other houses nearby. The house next door has a PV solar system on the roof and is the likely source/culprit.

The spectrum analyzer view, on the top half of the computer screen shows most of the DE is at 40 kHz which is 40,000 cycles per second. At this frequency the wiring in the house becomes a transmitting antenna which radiates upon and into the occupants. The very narrow and extremely tall spike of frequency, 40 kHz, is the forensic electronic fingerprint of a very dirty and poorly designed solar inverter. The lower half of the screen shows the time domain oscilloscope view of the DE which has a peak to peak amplitude of .356 Volts. The repeating series of bulges are called “beads on a chain” and are most often associated with solar inverters.

The good news is that this DE was significantly reduced from 1250 GS units to 70 GS units with a simple filter. I will have my EMF electrician install the appropriate filter at the most effective location.

Building inspector missed these neutral to ground connections: why?

Can you see any visual NEC violations in this sub panel?
Why couldn’t the building inspector see them?

2005 NEC Code § 250.24(A)(5)
A grounding connection shall not be made to any grounded conductor (neutral) on the load side of the service disconnect.

When neutral conductors and grounding conductors are connected at sub panels the neutral current can now take multiple metallic return paths back to the service entrance panel according to the relative impedance of any given pathway. This unbalanced current, .54 AMPS, creates magnetic fields around the house all the way back to the service disconnect panel.

2005 NEC Code § 250.6 Objectionable Current over Grounding Conductors.
(A) Arrangement to Prevent Objectionable Current. The grounding of electrical systems, circuit conductors, surge arresters, and conductive non-current-carrying materials and equipment shall be installed and arranged in a manner that will prevent objectionable current over the grounding conductors or grounding paths.

Additionally current is not allowed on grounding conductors except for clearing a fault and never for regular or continuous operation.

The sub panel in this video is actually set up as a service entrance panel since it lacks an isolated neutral bus required for sub panels.

Question: where was the building inspector on this? My client states that this electric work was done as part of a larger remodel which required a permit in Sacramento County California.

There are additional violations of the National Electric Code at this house so I suggested to my client/owner that I trace and fix this problem with my EMF electrician as these violations are a fire, shock and health hazard.

RF Radiation Shielding with Aluminum Window Screen on Fence

High levels of RF radiation from WiFi, Smart Meters, cell & cordless phones, coming through backyard fences on both sides, made it painful for my client to enjoy gardening in her flat 35’x85′ back yard. The two wood side fences were about 65′ long and about 7.5′ high.

Fine mesh aluminum window screen, for small insects, was stapled from top to bottom and full length on BOTH side fences. Most of the RF from houses next door & on both sides was stopped, by the screen, & reflected away from my clients yard & house.

My client was greatly relieved at the huge reduction in RF power density this simple and low cost shielding project provided. I do recommend that before buying or installing ANY shielding you should have a professional assessment to determine the source, measurement, risk level and review of proven options.

CAUTION: RF power density measurements should be recorded at set locations to compare Before & After for verification of shielding effectiveness.

Neutral Current on Pipes & TV cables correlated to magnetic fields on floor of condo above

Pipes & TV cables were attached to ceiling of underground garage and directly below the steel rebar reinforced concrete floor of my clients condo. Objectionable Current of 1.85 mG on the pipes and cables created 4 to 12.7 mG inside my clients condo on the floor and about 2 to 2.5 mG on counters and the master bed. These mG levels are in the Severe and above the Extreme Concern levels per Building Biology Precautionary Guidelines SMB 2015

The highest reading, of 12.7 mG was here you stand at the bathroom sink and the rest of the floor was about 4 mG where ever I measured which could be a result of neutral current on the steel rebar in the concrete floor.

Electric current on gas line is a violation of National Electric Code

First indication of a NEC violation was .2 to .4 amp current on a 15 amp circuit equipment grounding conductor back at the main panel. Next I traced it to the DHW recirculation pump @ the water heater where I measured .15 amp on both the pump cord and gas line. The pump was clearly a remodel add on and appears to be connected to a lighting circuit in the kitchen. The next step is to come back with my EMF electrician and find the actual neutral to ground connection and correct it to NEC compliance. We trace and fix these hazardous violations all over Northern California.

This is an apparent violation of National Electric Code 250.24(A)(5)
”
A grounding connection shall not be made to any grounded conductor (neutral) on the load side of
the service disconnect.”

Also:
250.142 Use of Grounded Circuit Conductor for Grounding Equipment.
(B) Load-Side Equipment. Except as permitted in 250.30(A)(l) and 250.32(B), a grounded circuit conductor shall not be used for grounding non-current-carrying metal parts of equipment on the load side of the service disconnecting means or on the load side of a separately derived system disconnecting means or the overcurrent devices for a separately derived system not having a main disconnecting means.

Is your BackUp Generator Safe and meets Electric Code Requirements?

Sadly, city & county building inspectors do not have the time, training or proper equipment to test for this and they often falsely certify that BackUp Generator installations meet NEC code requirements.

A fire insurance inspector can look for reasons why his company could deny, reduce payment or cancel future coverage for a fire damage claim if he can trace it back to a documentable code violation. Check with your insurance agent, broker or carrier for clarification.

My client, in Mill Valley CA, had a backup generator installed : I inspected it as part of my whole house EMF Safety Assessment.

Net currents of up to 12 amps were measured on circuit conduits & 2.4 Amps on the EGC (equipment grounding conductors). This also create 14 mG magnetic fields in the shop near this equipment. NEC Code compliant installations will have no net currents on conduits and No current on EGCs (equipment grounding conductors) and therefore little or no magnetic fields.

This is near carbon copy of the NEC errors I found on another backup generator installation in Marin Country CA in May of 2015. To his credit, the installing contractor came back on that installation, and corrected wiring to code so that the net currents and related magnetic fields ceased. My client hopes he will do the same on this installation.

After sharing my measurement findings, photos and videos of the backup generator transfer switches and related connection to the service panel with several Electrical Engineers and senior troubleshooting electricians I suggested, to my client, the following possibilities as a root cause of the measured net currents.

1) The installing electrician reasoned that since they were using two pole transfer switches, only the two hot wires had to go over and back, so he left the neutrals out of the conduits. This is what they did with the stage lighting I worked on. NEC 300.3(B)(1) (This is analogous to using 2 conductor cable for wiring 3-way switches, where there is no neutral run along with the travelers.)

2) He ran A phases out and back in one conduit and B phases out and back in the other. NEC 300.3(B)(1)

3) He ran both neutrals over and back to the transfer switches in the same conduit. NEC 300.3(B)(1)

Suggested Solution: have the installer return and check to see if all his connections meet code: fix and repair as required to stop net currents as measured by a flexible amp clamp. NEC Code compliant installations will have no net currents on conduits.
