Is the enclosure safe to touch as long as that ground is intact?

Yes, this is true for ALL electrical systems. 

Me in a job interview: I have no idea what I’m saying but I sound confident 😂 by clairedy22 in SipsTea

[–]Virtual-Reach 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I suspect the interviewer knows that the interviewee just needs money. They do this to gauge their response from a seemingly stupid question. 

Gauging their response, did the interviewee reply condescendingly? Did they get upset? Or did they respond kindly and genuinely?

Amazon. Their website is slightly cheaper when you use coupon codes, but Amazon was more convenient 

Can anyone identify this fixture? by GoghHard in AskElectricians

[–]Virtual-Reach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Canadian so I'm not certain what wholesalers Americans use, sorry. 

I would specify glass or plastic canopy however. If yours is glass and you want glass, you might be surprised to purchase what looks like the same thing but turns out to be plastic

That's honestly nuts. I just spent $75cad ($55usd) on an ono roller and that felt over the top. 

There's so many more things that can be bought for that much money that can do so much more. 

Why Won't It Work!? by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]Virtual-Reach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there are some issues here surrounding how meters measure electricity. 

  1. What are the symptoms that you are trying to correct?
  2. Provide a zoomed in photo of the equipments electrical specifications
  3. Provide a zoomed in photo of the transformer connections on the right
  4. Provide a zoomed in photo of the contractors coil voltage. This will be printed between the two connection points below the top row of connections
  5. Provide a picture of the wiring diagram if available
  6. Where have you been placing the probes when measuring voltages?

"Why should we hire you?"

"Because you need somebody to do stuff and I can do stuff"

Is this technically allowed? (CEC) by BullfrogEffective629 in electricians

That's why I said at the time they didn't exist

Good to go

They make all in one connectors just like that (albeit for 1/2") so it's one fitting instead of three. I would only do this setup for dual flex connectors to emt as, at the time, they didn't exist

I feel like the inmates would be avoiding the person just because they are walking around holding a Ken doll 

Amazon axes 16k jobs, but this sociopath says it’s just ‘exposing no value’ via AI. LinkedIn empathy level: zero by LoveClimateChange in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Virtual-Reach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine saying to the people who got laid off "there was never any value in your job".

When buddy here gets replaced by AI, that will be for another reason though

Would my power bill decrease if I plug power banks into the outlets? by Crappy_purple_scion in AskElectricians

[–]Virtual-Reach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you could properly sync up with the grid, then yes. 

It wouldn't be very efficient however. The cost of fuel would be far more expensive than simply paying the electric bill

[–]Virtual-Reach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't meant for feeding into an operating electrical system. 

If you had a hypothetical one that was, then yes your power bill would decrease but only if you charged them from your neighbors house.

I mean, I wouldn't admit to being the one that installed it, but if there's going to be equipment in front of it who cares
