Insufficient earth grounding can be a safety hazard and may damage your BioCharger voiding the warranty. *What is electrical grounding?* Electrical grounding provides an alternate route for current to flow down to the ground if there is a fault in the wiring system. Thus, it creates a physical connection between the ground and any electrical equipment or appliances in your home. Use a grounding tester to make sure your outlets are grounded and when in doubt, we strongly recommend that you have an electrician come and check your home and/or office grounding if there is any doubt.  The electrician needs to ensure proper installation of earth ground rod as close to your distribution box and home/premises as possible.  We have seen many instances where even new homes are not properly grounded. If you have a two-prong outlet, never use an adapter and have an electrician come to install earth ground.  The BioCharger relies on a solid ground connection, if your outlets aren’t grounded, you could ruin the BioCharger, which would be considered an outside source of interference, and is therefore not within warranty parameters. *A standard 110-Volt/15-Amp electrical outlet with a verified working earth ground is required. At peak power, your BioCharger NG can draw up to 1100W.*   *International specs: 120V/240V 1100 Watts* Simply tying the ground of the electrical outlet to neutral is NOT sufficient. If you use the BioCharger NG on an improperly grounded outlet, you run the risk of: - Damaging the BioCharger NG - Damaging other electrical equipment connected to other electrical outlets (even those outside of the room and on other electrical circuits) - Creating a potentially hazardous environment - Advanced Biotechnologies, LLC WILL NOT warranty a BioCharger NG that is currently known to be, or has been discovered to be, connected to a KNOWN, OR DISCOVERED AS, an incorrectly grounded outlet - Arc-type circuit breakers are prone to tripping when running high-power recipes, especially in locations where earth/ground lugs/wires are not sufficiently tight, or lacking Need help?
