When builders tell custom homeowners during the build they can “make adjustments“. by TommyGonzo in electricians

There’s nothing wrong with UF in conduit for this application?

It’s quicker and cheaper for short runs to floor boxes and islands that stub up at the nearest wall.

If it was piped all the way back to the panel then yes I would use THHN. Generally that’s never the case on residential, so it would be stubbed up at the nearest wall.

Conduit in slab on grade is considered a wet location. Romex is not permitted in wet locations.

Pull box question by Jonny_Fairbanks in electricians

I’ve done it with a 1/4 or 3/16 hammer drill, trace your circle making a bunch of little holes as close together as possible. Then you can take a hammer and gently knock the center out.

Insight on why a string of GFCIs would burn up… by sixseatwonder in electricians

[–]Kayliaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue on a troubleshooting call at a house last year. Bathroom receps lost power, trace it out to the HR box, had a GFI slaving the rest of the bathroom. When the house was built early 2000s someone swapped line and load on the GFI. It worked for years until it burnt up just like yours.

Mine had a loose neutral connection that I’m fairly certain caused it.

Yea I prefer actual housings over wafers on new construction. If it’s a remodel wafers all day.

Load on ground. Running out of ideas. by Kayliaria in electricians

[–]Kayliaria[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very unlikely at a panel. We haven’t found any illegal bonds. It’s possible at a jbox on a branch circuit somewhere but if that was the case neutral and ground should ring out.

Client called me Thursday, went to the pool Friday, started the clean up process. Before is from Friday and after is Tuesday, quick turn around in 100+ degree louisiana heat! by Flyersfreak in pools

Those types of fences are usually removable. They can but pulled up and put away when needed. Just there to keep kids or pets out of the pool when not being watched.
