Were the following two items determined:
1. Why was the pedestal energized?
2. Why was the energy not dissipated via the ground rod?
The case of the floating dock???
I'm not sure we are given enough information. GFCI operate without a ground. The "severed" ground should not have made that much of a difference. If the child was electrocuted by being the conductor to ground (hence the water) then the GFCI should have opened. Any comment?
the gfci is located after the short caused by the water so they do not come into play in this case. the current then follows the ground to what ever it is attached to
