Your response that me using a ground isolation receptacle and running the ground wire to an outside grounding rod does not sound logical that the circuit breaker could never trip.I never said that the breaker would never trip. Please read more carefully. What I did note is that your grounding scheme was an NEC violation and created a dangerous situation (that could be lethal) where it would fail to trip under a specific circumstance.
... you do not even need a ground wire between your electrical meter and the first electrical panel in the house ...You do in my town. In addition to NEC, you need to check local codes.
From your response above anyone that did not know any better would think that even with a dead short a non defective breaker would not trip.I can’t imagine what I wrote that would lead you to that claim. You don’t quote the person to whom you respond, so it will remain a mystery, I guess.
