Rather then believe what someone posts on a internet forum, I actually took my Fluke DMM to my Viair and confirmed, it is case isolated. Might want to check your source again.
Yes, I concur about what someone write on a forum, that's why I talked to the tech support at Viair ( they would not
say the case were isolated, but said they had cases of grounding to the housing... but they were more fixated on WHY any one would buy a 12v model instead of a 24v one???... I knew why, they couldn't understand it. they claimed the 24v models were only $12 more ( I haven't confirmed that)). Just because you didn't find grounding through the housing on your compressor, doesn't say anything for all of the others made.
I didn't have any desire to post in this thread , Jim M's reply was to the point and the safe assumption ( Ed restated it).
My problem came in when you said "100% incorrect and a lot of "if" statements"...... pretty ballsy to say that about an electrical engineer. Knowing how some people will use a reply from one thread for another application ( "close is good enough"). I and others here will post safety precautions. If you have a problem with that, you'll need to rethink your being here. Pinz owners come here to share and LEARN, and precautions and the reasons for them are part of it.
Pinzes are unique in so many more ways than obvious, that trying to explain why the engineers did something is important to know( or at least know about it).
Some very simple changes to the electrical can have dramatic affect later
Erik, Erik, Erik.... it was more about dismissing a true comment than a particular point... and people remember the last line posted.
BTW, your kids weren't talking about the Pinz... but you !
