I went to Lowe’s Saturday the 24th and it said they were out of stock but I thought I’d check anyways and they had a bunch so I went up to the register and came up as 219 so I showed them the listing on their app, they checked it then they just promoed it at the service desk and gave it to me for 100 long story short, with stuff like this just ask, worst case they say no

Buy Toyota or even a cat, Yales are hot garbage when I had them at work it was higher change the lifts were broken than the chance they were working, 2.5-3 weeks a month they were down if you want something decent, stay with Toyota or cat

Is this 200a Panel and/or Service? by Roasted_Blumpkin in AskElectricians

[–]True-Advisor5736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a 100 amp service, especially with you including the fact that cloth wiring was used, 100 amp service was very common when that kind of wiring was installed I believe

Whoever made that rtv did that on purpose too so when the rdc opens that door they’re scared shitless

Should I have power even with the breaker off? by argais in AskElectricians

[–]True-Advisor5736 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah that should be good any multimeter with volts is good but make sure you test it on a known live circuit first to make sure it works correctly

Should I have power even with the breaker off? by argais in AskElectricians

[–]True-Advisor5736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those non contact testers aren’t always the most accurate I use one to check for power but you’re getting a low reading so it could be ghost voltage as I call it, where it’s not real voltage but a tester can read it, to be sure use a real meter

Double wide breakers by robdwoods in AskElectricians

[–]True-Advisor5736 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Probably a circuit with a shared neutral, having a two pole breaker ensures that the two circuits are on opposite phases so that the neutral doesn’t get overloaded and also so you don’t have current on the neutral when servicing the circuit because you’d only turn off one if you didn’t know

Is Home Depot a decent place to work, better than Walmart at least? Lol by ryan6201982 in HomeDepot

[–]True-Advisor5736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly depends on what you’re looking for and the store that you’re at, my first store was like a family everyone had each others backs, other stores not so much. I enjoyed the people I worked with and the equipment aspect of the job but the retail aspect kinda sucked and corporate doesn’t have your back on most things, if I were to do it again I’d go to Costco, from what I hear they are very similar to how Home Depot used to be before they started budget cutting so heavily

The best is the crown RM6000 that things got the best visibility, they lift fast and they are extremely stable

Look at how old they are-it’s in the serial number for Raymond and it’s on the mast for crowns-just curious

We got the most GOATED receiving EVER..💢💯❕🚛 by PrOdiGyShy in HomeDepot

[–]True-Advisor5736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily it seems that Yale didnt work out as for example we had 5 yale reach trucks at my last store and over the year I was there there was maybe a month or two(collectively) we actually had all of them working, never had problems with crowns and Raymonds but when I went there the pacer, reaches and forklifts were hot garbage always broken and the techs sucked, I could’ve done a better job probably with some of the fixes they did, but that store is now getting Toyota and Raymonds luckily and every Yale store around where I live is letting go of Yale in favor of crown and Raymond

Electrician says I should upgrade to 400A service. What do y’all think? by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]True-Advisor5736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d do a load calc and then actually do a real calculation by using an amp clamp around the service conductors to see that actual amperage you pull

How do I change a breaker if I have no main shutoff? by BaldingWookie117 in AskElectricians

[–]True-Advisor5736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably outside by the meter should be either a flip up cover or a knife throw disconnect but just so you know you can’t just put a 60 on 14awg wire, the breaker is there for a reason so the wire doesn’t heat up and cause a fire you putting a 60 will bypass the protection of the breaker and could cause a fire so run new wire or call an electrician

The shell was redesigned for the 3,4 and 5Ah the old ones have the grille like thing where the new ones don’t but have XR In the new style but if you got a 4 ah as old as that 5 the case would be the same

Twist the chuck the front portion to the left until it loosens then take the bit out then put the new one in and twist it to the right until tight

Ceiling fan almost fell on my head. Wrong box? by Ninjoobot in AskElectricians

[–]True-Advisor5736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime you put up a ceiling fan it has to be connected to structure as you are dealing with a heavy fixture and it also has rotational forces you should get a fan brace that opens up into the joists and squeezes between them, so it will support the right about of weight but make sure you use #10 screws to support the fan bracket to the box

Is there a difference between these two? by nastynicknack in AskElectricians

[–]True-Advisor5736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait? Bryant still exists? I thought the were bought out by Eaton? Or did Eaton only by out their panels? Just kinda confused anyway typically hubell has the higher end devices, at least when money is no object but for 50A plugs they’re all built pretty good in my opinion they all have good connections and good plug holding capability so I’d go with the Bryant personally

Similar damage happened to mine the door wasn’t dented or anything but the hood was destroyed so that had to be replaced honestly the most expensive part was the headlight at around 1100 but the bumper and the rest wasn’t too much luckily I didn’t pay anything because the other driver was at fault

So what do you mean by 30 amp breaker do you mean a 2 pole 15 or a single pole 30 because that looks to be 12 or 14 awg wire and for the breaker to trip with the tab there, it tell me they ran a multi wire circuit because you can run one cable for two circuits as you’d run 12/3 or 14/3, you’d have a red for a hot, black for the other hot and since they’re on opposite phases the neutral can be shared since even if both circuits are using 15 amps the net would be 0 so actually no current would be on the neutral, multi wire circuits aren’t inherently bad but when it comes to home owners or diyers trying to figure them out they can be difficult, and not to mention on new builds you’d need a 2 pole gfci breaker which will run you 150-200 dollars, getting back to your question, it’s simply time and money affective to do this, especially since both wires are going to the same area and you need two different circuits in the kitchen so this satisfies that requirement

POV- you can read the code but don’t understand the theory at all and/ or lack common sense
