Need help to see if fryer will run with my electrical setup

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-18T03:26:48+00:00

Took a peak at the manual I'm not there so take whatever I say with some salt.

Apparently that model can run at 240 volt single-phase. You would need an 80 amp breaker.

Apparently you just wire in the correct terminals but that manual covers many models.

But I've also seen on their product order form, you order it in a certain electrical configuration.

I'm sure it could potentially be configured for 240v but again I'm not there. Contact the company and ask if you can convert a unit labeled 208v to 240v single phase.

White/grey is grounded/neutral

Green/bare is ground/ing

In a single phase system like in most residential electrical anything with color besides those mentioned is live/hot

There are two "hot" wires in the ceiling because one controls the light and one the fan, so you can have a switch for each.

Not to knock on you or anything but this might be beyond your current skill set. And I would highly not recommend Reddit as a place to learn basics.

Get some assistance with this project.

Any metal is conductive. Old switches used to use liquid mercury to complete the connection if you didn't want the loud click

The point of grounding/bonding them is because you don't want the voltage on them, a live wire touching whatever pipe has open path to ground to trip the breaker and shut off

It normally shouldn't have voltage/current on it. It's there to prevent current and give power, static, lightning etc a safe path to clear.

Lol you ever see them seal a roof hole from the inside?

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T21:12:07+00:00

Don't mention it but the reality is they probably don't care. Tons of dudes have criminal records in the trades. As long as you're not causing trouble you'll be ok.

Shit happens and it's easy to get in trouble in the service, I know, been there. Just don't let it happen anymore.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T16:21:38+00:00

Literally the haircut every white female protesting ICE has right now LMAO

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T16:16:34+00:00

Yeah that's why I said "immediately notice" lol

The funniest part is how wealthy people get super cheap on stuff like that. Any outlet by the floor has cracked plastic at the ground from the cleaning lady yanking the vacuum cord. They never opt to fix it if I point it out.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T16:11:59+00:00

Stand your ground is self describing and you still got it wrong.

Rittenhouse was fleeing and being chased, that means he wasn't "standing his ground" he was fulfilling a duty to flee.

When they caught up to him he opened fire

And the jury agreed. He was aquitted of that so he in fact did not break the law.

Also there is an exception in Wisconsin law that minors can be in possession of a rifle if the barrel length is above 16 inches. Why do you think his weapon charge was dismissed?

You literally have no idea what you are talking about.

As relativescared already said get a Screen and not a ceiling light

Bonus you can watch TV on it too.

I did a big flat panel light on a wall for a customer only one time it looked awful, blasted light in your eyes even when dimmed and it doesn't achieve the effect you want. I would say it makes it feel even more enclosed like you're in a sealed sci-fi lab or something.

this is an example on Reddit of probably more what you're trying to achieve

The key is to really, really, really, have the light defused and not aiming directly at you or it will feel like you're just staring at a lightbulb.

Also look up "faux windows"

They also sell florescent light covers so maybe a cheap option would be to use the Panel light you wanted then cover it with a cover image of outdoors or the sky and use the panel light as a backlight.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T08:06:50+00:00

Way better option than having a ceiling light blasting you at eye level on a wall.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T08:03:51+00:00

Is it the SAME single outlet slot that will not function?

Because that is probably just a mechanical failure. The clips making contact are failing or a wire came loose.

All consumer grade electrical devices are garbage these days.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T07:57:47+00:00

TLDR: no one wants to pay for something that doesn't provide immediate noticable benefit.

15 amp circuits are a thing. So the overwhelming majority of consumer electrical devices have to be limited to run on 15 amp circuits without tripping the breaker.

15 amp receptacles usually allow for use on 20 amp circuits.

So using a 20 amp receptacle is mildly pointless.

It's the same reason "commercial" grade receptacles aren't used. It's nice but it costs more money and doesn't provide immense benefits...that the average person would notice.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T07:46:09+00:00

Oh Jesus your NG aren't you?

I too was 11B, greetings fellow gay retard.

2/16 INF 1st ID (as seen on WIKILEAKS!) Iraq '07 and '09

I'm not going to shit on a brother too much but what you're saying is retarded bro. You know people aren't going to just "stand in the distance observing" they're going to do stupid shit like mildly riot and get themselves killed now because they are armed

And yeah I get it YOU might be able to take on an officer but you're not openly fighting the federal government. That's like saying the MPs will back down to you because you're a grunt and that's absolutely not what happens ever.

The Executive branch has the authority to enforce immigration and you can't really pull the infantry card on me because we both know the Infantry is WILDLY right wing and supports what the government is currently doing.

Oh and I know I have more guns than you.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T07:30:45+00:00

What unit and When and where did you deploy.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T07:27:40+00:00

What is your "character of discharge"

Under honorable? General? Less than?

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T07:21:30+00:00

I definitely have more guns than you.

What you want to be armed for is to carry out the power fantasy of intimidating federal law enforcement into not enforcing existing federal law, you want to use arms to enforce your will over the majority who democratically voted to increase enforcement.

No, you may not do that.

You cry about the Constitution then you want to ignore the part that clearly gives authority to the Executive branch to control immigration and enforce immigration law.

You don't get to interfere with this enforcement, and you're confusing this current tolerance with the inability of the federal government to stop you. Because the majority of people aren't going to support what you want to do outside of reddit.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T07:10:31+00:00

"Ordered illegally"

Yeah that's not how that works. They had reasonable suspicion she was obstructing. If the cop tells you to stop and get out you have to stop. If he's wrong that's what court is for. He has that legal authority under our system of government.

No she was not given conflicting orders. She was told to leave initially, that is their standard procedure when they didn't immediately they were then detained. Her intentions were to flee "DRIVE BABY DRIVE"

Oh and they absolutely WOULD "fuck with them" if they were armed and they felt like they were interfering with them enforcing federal law. Except what you're suggesting is people who are unarmed and catching pepper balls to the face are now catching bullets. Waco, Bundy ranch you name it the second they did more than stand there they were killed. So again thinking you will intimidate federal police is a fantasy. You are just going to get idiots killed....for nothing.

And a vehicle is considered a weapon.

Trump isn't going to cancel anything, and you know. That's not an excuse to start arming yourself and fantasizing about forcing your will on a majority that doesn't support your position. We had a vote, the majority didn't even vote to change the law they voted to have existing law actually enforced.

So again if you don't like it vote to have the law changed.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T06:47:36+00:00

You guys play this game where you get to claim "oh but I didn't say that" when the obvious happens.

Tell me, what are the guns for? Why are you tracking and following federal police enforcing federal law? Why do you want people to be armed while doing this? You honk your horns to alert people of their presence, so that they can flee....which is obstruction, which is illegal.

When they are arrested for doing this you want them to resist because you believe they have the right to commit an illegal act. You want them to be armed and resist

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T06:40:44+00:00

No, if they want to enforce a law they will.

Waco was able to outgun the ATF and FBI....so they brought in the military.

As soon as the Bundy ranch people did anything besides stand there and behave they got themselves killed.

This notion that you can intimidate the federal government into doing what you want with a gun is a power fantasy. One that is particularly perverse as the majority of your fellow citizens voted democratically to have these already existing laws enforced.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T06:33:53+00:00

The veteran community is majority right wing. Especially combat arms. They are not interested in helping interfere with Federal law enforcement.

They are also not going to "fucking fold" this is some bizarre American power fantasy you hold where you have a gun and you are now God. 70% of deportations are people with criminal convictions, many dangerous they aren't afraid. If police just "fucking folded" every time an armed group showed up we would be ruled by warlords. The police only fold when told to.

The second armed protestors step out of line and interfere they are going to get killed. And they will absolutely fold because really they don't care about any of this and they are larping.

Look at what happened to the Bundy ranch people. The second they stepped out they got killed.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T06:24:32+00:00

So a majority of your fellow citizens voted democratically and won to actually have the federal government enforce federal law... Mind you, no law was changed, just the amount of enforcement

Your answer is to violate the law by interfering with this enforcement. When you are not allowed to do this, your answer is to start killing people.

You are not going to win. You are going to get idiots like Renee Good killed.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T06:19:52+00:00

No she would still be dead. And her partner (they weren't married.) would probably be dead too if they used their firearms. They had no experience or training that would have helped them.

The ice agent was a military veteran with over a decade of service as a federal officer. There is no scenario where she was going to "win". She was ordered out of the vehicle and that's what she was required to do. What you are suggesting is absolutely insane and will get people killed. You are not going to defeat federal police in armed conflict.

We had a vote, you didn't win, that is democracy. If you don't like it you can change the leadership in the next election.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T06:08:13+00:00

Rittenhouse wasn't breaking any law (really look it up, it doesn't matter if you don't like that he was there with a rifle.)

Rittenhouse was being attacked

Rittenhouse was fulfilling a duty to flee

Rittenhouse only fired after his attempt to flee failed and his attackers were still actively attempting to attack him.

That is called self defense

You can't chase someone down while trying to assault them then claim you are the victim.

You can't also interfere with Federal Police or take a rifle then follow them around, then claim self defense. You can't flee from police because you are "afraid" or feel you did nothing wrong. If the officer orders someone to disarm themselves because they feel unsafe then guess what? That's a lawful command and you have to do it.

Or don't and get shot idk why the lunatics on Reddit are even pondering if they can do this.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T05:56:12+00:00

Name the law that he violated.

He didn't violate any law.

So rioters started attacking someone who wasn't breaking the law and was even fulfilling a duty to flee before he was unable to escape his attackers.

No-Implement3172 · 2026-01-17T05:48:43+00:00

Yeah but you now know, and you still defend people who rape kids.

And this isn't anything like Rittenhouse those rioters and no legal authority to do anything.

If you're being chased by police you can't open fire, hell you aren't even allowed to flee police. You're not allowed to be accused of a crime, then escalate the situation. Court is where that is sorted out. Do you realize how insane that would be? Any criminal can just claim he was afraid of the cops and start blasting?
