On a negative ground auto, why should the battery disconnect be installed on the NEGATIVE or GROUND side? I've got mine (the one with the green knob) on the HOT or POSITIVE side and a neighbor saw it

Although the rest of your point is accurate, this is a little meaningless. The "ground" that you are standing on is unrelated to chassis ground in a car, so isn't a factor. If you could somehow groun

Indeed! Actual "grounds" have high resistance and are really only useful for two things. You can use them as a reference for what 0V is on a system that is also grounded (like a house). Even though i

It would be too variable to count on anywhere near the surface, because the resistance depends extremely heavily on moisture content. If it rains, and there are some salts in the ground to ionize th
