yep ! ELF wave intrusion in ground potential sucks feces big time !
had ruined million dollar set ups ! ....

Mick! Just had to laugh at your remark about floating grounds in the recording studio! Ha! Ha! Way back when I was learning about fine audio, I ran a shielded line level audio cable to hook two sound systems together, about 100 ft run. When I turned on the systems and selected line in on the 2nd system, I had the prettiest motor boat you ever heard! Lol Yep! I had grounded both ends of a shielded cable and got a good example of a ground loop!

Norm,
Thanks for that.
I love Mr Calrsons lab, I could happily live there for quite awhile with all that awesome vintage gear. I have seen isolation transformers wired like that and it's so insane but I am used to testing all the grounding points. When building a recording studio we have to float all the grounds so they are single point at the service panel and not looped anywhere else. Often they are lifted at the outlet j-box due to the lack of control in a prewired building. Ironically we also used to use autoformers for all of the light dimmers to prevent noise, so we often referred to the variacs as light dimmers.
I still don't completely trust a scope on an isolation transformer even if the ground is properly isolated/ lifted due to the somewhat rare magnetic emp events we are talking about like when I kicked off all my ground faults in the house through one.

Norm,
Thanks for the nudge in the right direction. Now the process demands repeating with a totally isolated battery source configured the same way. Funny how I was concentrating on isolating and connecting saturated inductive charge without the first magnetic variable taken into account.
I have had no problem creating the event with my grid power source and even warned Sven that an isolation transformer will not always protect his scope when messing around with this energy. My scope probe sitting on a bench shot me in the leg when I walked by when performing the experiments from my bench supply. The bench supply has an isolation transformer of sorts. Being it is torroidal there is more inter-winding capacitive coupling and mutual inductance than with the proper EI transformer though there is at least the electrostatic shield and galvanic isolation.
Thanks for that reference. the Brit guy was funny, although I'm very familiar with iso transformers in audio work used for galvanic isolation and balancing to eliminate common mode noise.

Mick! Your DUH reference is funny! To understand Isolation, best to study and understand the Isolation Transformer. The super high quality ones are built to eliminate noise and DC components that effect sensitive instruments like EEG and EKG instruments. This will give you an idea as to construction and purpose::

The 230VAC, 5 HP locked rotor experiment was an example of electrically isolated electrical circuitry when mains contactor was opened since there was no neutral involve. There is magnetic and capacitive coup[ling only The dielectric insulation was not compromised therefore no electrical connection. The Chinese motor experiment was isolated, (electrically) when the reversing action was in transient. (Floating neutral) since there is a line neutral in the 120VAC input.

Norm,
Since you have performed mass research on this event would you concur
with my long distance observation that the event is not only due to
charge isolation but inclusive of a magnetic connection from source in
addition to the saturated and lifted inductive load?
Your bell buzzer and bell transformer acting as an isolation transformer.
Both motor experiments, the small Emerson type and the HVAC unit with
only two hot's no neutral, must have been powered by an isolation
transformer of some type also such as the utility step down for the
neighborhood or dedicated delta or wye for commercial or even acted as
such from the dual windings of the HVAC motor.
Have you reliably produced the NS from any type of isolated battery
system, or in all such cases was there a magnetic connection to an earth
bonding in another spot?
My thoughts being one side of a transformer acting as a source is
grounded and the secondary side isolated so that the only conceivable
ground bonding on the sink might be considered as magnetic aside from
the bonded motor frame or what not producing the reconnection.
I may be pissing up a rope notwithstanding the NS seems to be predicated
on a B field connection somewhere in the source feed though the neutral
is isolated electrically.
Perhaps this is a simple "Duh" to you that you had already figured out
assuming everyone else at least this smart. Either way it does create
an interesting position in which to view 3 phase and transformers with
an extra resonant winding.
By the way, ironic your implication that the large medical isolation
transformers create a heretofore unknown vector of extreme danger.
