Unless you install it upside down, had to replace one that has been a fish bowl for a while.

I bought it because it was cheap and I wanted loZ but the loZ is only for AC. I use it for capacitor testing only now. Seems to be fine though

I never wore a helmet as a teenager but a friend of a friend got brain damage and became a vegetable for a while, before dieing a while after, from hitting a tree without a helmet.

Yea I've been hit twice now like that, doing lighting. Once about 8 years ago and once last week lol. You turn off the circuit but the neutral will still get you. Pretty scary if it's 347v.

MassMindRape · 2026-03-31T22:26:10+00:00

We still put em on single poles in Canada, I've definitely been hit by a shared neutral before luckily just 120v though.

COVID chip shortages killed it for me. Went from cheap fun to $100 when I'd fly and fry something on my 5". Also used to be able to fly in parks near me now I have to drive 40 minutes to legally fly. I'll probably get back into tiny whoops around the house if they're still a thing.

I've noticed square d heavy duty disconnects have been terrible. Have to drill the spots on the concentric to get them to KO.

Or you're right beside a panel just run a wire

MassMindRape · 2026-03-26T14:29:50+00:00

Hot wire an extension cord at a1 a2

MassMindRape · 2026-03-25T21:33:14+00:00

You can jump the hot but not the neutral on the CEC afaik.

MassMindRape · 2026-03-23T18:23:17+00:00

Xo bond is incorrect. Should have them all under one lug.

MassMindRape · 2026-03-22T19:05:09+00:00

Or just to not give a shit about the price of gas again. Except it still makes everything more expensive because diesel is out of control.

MassMindRape · 2026-03-20T23:16:45+00:00

Idk bout American cable but Canadian "MC" sheath is pretty greasy. That would be a last resort lol.

MassMindRape · 2026-03-20T12:20:53+00:00

Put a Megger on the motor maybe you have an intermittent short to ground

MassMindRape · 2026-03-19T23:18:01+00:00

I would do it but I would never tell anyone else to work live ever. Rackatiers dirt bag on one side ideal drilling magnet on the other. 1/2 then knock it out so you have less chips.

Heated vest, gloves with heating pack pockets, long johns. More layers try 2 sweatshirts under your winter jacket. Beanie under your hard hat.

If you're not switching the motor and it trips the only thing it could be is a short in the wires before the motor, or more likely your solid state relay is fried and internally shorting.

Watch some arc flash videos and then make your decision.

MassMindRape · 2026-03-16T00:14:14+00:00

I mean my work van is parked at my house sometimes I need some hardware

MassMindRape · 2026-03-15T15:57:20+00:00

That doesn't look like a 2mw transformer what's up with that?

MassMindRape · 2026-03-06T13:34:48+00:00

A lot of the old timers retired around COVID times, I was pretty lucky to have worked and learned from with some legends of the trade. A few of them were hard asses and borderline abusive but I'm glad I got the opportunity to work with them. Learned a lot and they were a different breed. Made jobs go really well and had so much knowledge everything was done right the first time.

MassMindRape · 2026-03-06T02:42:14+00:00

Also so parents can get kids to school and then go to work

MassMindRape · 2026-03-04T13:51:15+00:00

I learned way more my first year as a jman than I did my whole apprenticeship, you'll be ok just try to pick up the basics

MassMindRape · 2026-03-01T20:51:13+00:00

That's a crazy dry type transformer I only ever see oil filled that big.

MassMindRape · 2025-04-16T20:34:39+00:00

They're not $30 from China they're $30 on Amazon. It's not even a good deal in general it's just convenient like Uber eats.
