The grounding conductor (normally) doesn't carry any current unless there is a fault. The ground and neutral should only be bonded at one point (by code) and that is in the breaker panel. The why behind that is explained in a dizzying number of places and videos on the web and can be explained a lot better than I can here. Keep in mind we are not talking about a separately derived system where the neutral is switched as well as the hots, nor are we talking about a stand-alone generator feeding devices directly plugged in or on an extension cord.</p></blockquote><p></p>
