   I'd like to take a moment to thank everybody that has helped me along my   
   journey to learn about Negative 48 Volts DC.  I believe that I have   
   learned, and unlearned, enough to have a acceptable decent understanding.   
      
   I have learned that the terms "hot" / "common" / "return" / "ground" do   
   not correlate with the polarity without indication of "negative ground"   
   (what I'm used to) or "positive ground".   
      
   In a negative ground system, the "hot" wire will be positive compared to   
   "ground" / "return".   
      
   In a positive ground system, the "hot" wire will be negative compared to   
   "ground" / "return".
