[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 220835, member: 250"] Hello & welcombrulations to the forumbulator..... :coffee Agree with everything my esteemed colleagues have said...... I will just add.. the TV (or some other home entertainment gear) is unlikely to be a prime culprit.. Because a lot of this gear is double insulated with only a twin flex supplying power..... So they have no exposed metal parts that have to be earthed... so less easy path for electric to flow down to earth..... If the appliance has a thin flat flex its most likely double insulated.. ;) I would concentrate investigations around your kitchen appliances that do washing or cooking... the higher power stuff with metally bits and earth connections all over!
