HowdyThe voltage of the safety ground certainly isn't irrelevant. As I mentioned before since standard practice is that it's very close to the same voltage as neutral except when some component has failed there are many ways that a designer could build something that cares when it isn't and in fact some better pro gear specifically shuts down when the safety ground is too far away from the neutral. UL doesn't care if something shuts down under test, but the user might :) Another example is the equipment that has a bleed resistor from the safety ground to the signal ground which may not be designed for the continuous current that 60V implies.
My point is that operating equipment outside of it's design parameters and it's testing domain is asking for trouble.
Good to see that you went to bed :) Have a good night. I'll listen to Rachmaninov another time or two...
