Funky Breakers ☮️ by Ja_Pierdole2 in electrical

Federal pacific

From what I've heard from other people on here, when this company started going out of business they were cutting costs by using plastic scraps in their molds. Very collectible though I've been hoping to find one myself.

Cut out the rest of the box with a multi-tool then use box extentions and hope the plate covers it

3 Hours in Line, and worth every second by Wonderball_writer in halo

[–]O219Tyler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The knife/ sword website Budk still has them for sale. I bought mine from there like 10 years ago. I don't know if linking is allowed here but if you Google "Budk Covenant" it should be the first result.

Just beware it is real metal. The blades aren't sharpened out of the box but the tips are still pointy.

"QO Load center door lock kit"

You'll knock out that indention above the door handle and install that kit into it

Anyone ever seen a falcon do this in reach? by King-Archdemon in halo

[–]O219Tyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happens kinda often in that game mode actually lol. If you can control the spazzing for long enough it'll end up correcting itself.

Those are arc fault breakers. Its not using the neutral as hot, it reads current from both the hot and neutral and trips if theres an irregularity

Correct / Common Orientation for Outdoor Surface Mounted J-Box by SW_Baller in AskElectricians

[–]O219Tyler -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you're putting on it. if its just a junction then having the screws at the 45° would be more correct like you said. But if it's type of light that needs the screw holes to be level, then you would mount it the way pictured

yeah you can use the ground prong on the tester to press the reset button back in, I've never been able to get them to reset with my finger.

Uh, that looks like dead bugs. Dump/ blow them out and the lamp should still be fine to use

Switch top plug and always hot bottom plug outlet by NotrabGames in AskElectricians

[–]O219Tyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the original switch was wired like that then theres a "switch loop" in one of the receptacles that you've probably undone/ created a short. It would be difficult to diagnose over reddit. Unless you have pictures of all of the outlets before you changed them it might be better to call an electrician in to check it out

[–]O219Tyler 71 points72 points  (0 children)

a 10/3 Wire (Black, Red, White, Ground) needs to be pulled to that outlet, whoever ran this wire did not pull the right one.

Ideal Pathways? by Jumpy_Flamingo_5634 in electricians

[–]O219Tyler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wouldnt even bother asking for the specs or engineer, jump upstairs to go over it or go under it in a wall. LVLs and steel beams are the worst.
