Ok a ground fault has no potential difference it is a short to ground. Therefore may answer was bad,every bad… because if it does not clear the breaker you Could be killed. Maybe asking what the difference between short and ground fault is. Ground faults can and do cause very strange things to happen with electronics.We know appliances are full of them.I don’t think I’m over thinking the question maybe it’s the electrician in me. Appliance technicians should be aware of this possible death trap. By Definition a ground fault is a Short To Ground not a potential difference because a Short has no potential difference. My reason for taking the course is to understand how electronics are applied in appliances. Enjoying the course. This all applies to appliances as well as any other equipment.
