Paul, I like your explanation of neutral/ground problems, but it makes me realize that every farm in our neighborhood is probably in violation of the current NEC. Our place is a good example of the bad. Our REA line comes in to a central pole, thru the meter (ground rod below meter) and branches out to three seperate buildings via three conductor cable. The closest building is about 50 ft, and the farthest about 150 ft and across the road from the meter pole. Each of the three buildings have a common ordinary breaker box with the ground/neutral buss bar(s) connected to a ground rod. I recently looked in one of the breaker boxes, and couldn't see any way to isolate the ground buss from the neutral buss, short of disassembly and the use of a hacksaw. This installation is about 20? years old, and we hired one of the REA linemen to do the work on weekends. I remember this man being a "detailer", even to the point of adding a conduit clamp to avoid a couple inch too wide spacing. I guess to make it "right", I need to replace all of the three conductor building feeds with a three conductor plus ground. Probably should, but probably won't happen in the very near future.
