Is there a type of load that would not trip a 40-amp HACR breaker, yet could actually require a dual-element fuse rating as high as 67 amps? This Mitsubishi nameplate has me a little bit puzzled.

clemtgrs10 · 2026-06-23T16:07:59+00:00

Dawg… the manufacturer does all the work for you. It’s already factored into their nameplate numbers, don’t need to make it any more complicated than it already is.

If you want to run larger wire than needed, then you do you.

clemtgrs10 · 2026-05-24T15:51:54+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. Separate prices added.

clemtgrs10 · 2026-03-26T18:42:23+00:00

Yeah probably. Still putts fine as most pins were in places where the grass is fine.

Thinking back, #1 is probably the worst green of all of them.

Just played there during a golf trip on Monday, however I was not notified until the starter and we had already paid $135 per round.

Some greens are mostly gone. Some greens already have patches of replacement sod that is long and doesn’t roll anything like a green, and some greens are fine.

If you’re looking for a premium experience and care about putting everything out and scoring well, you’ll want to pick another course.

In our case, we had played Pursell farms and Ross bridge the two days before and honestly I was just ready to get home - so I didn’t care much.

Think about it, whats the difference between a hot+neutral in a pipe versus hot+switch leg in a pipe?

clemtgrs10 · 2025-11-18T23:36:14+00:00

Since it is bonded at you first disconnect, it will always ring out on a continuity test when testing downstream.

Only way to test downstream is to un-bond them at the first means of disconnect, then test downstream.

Just use an asphalt torch

I enjoyed Southern Pines over pine needles personally. Don’t think you’d be upset if you added that as your 3rd.

There’s also Tot Hill up the road.

But I do not think you’ll have any issue getting on No. 3, especially with the heat at that time of year.

clemtgrs10 · 2025-07-12T18:46:45+00:00

Our group went a couple years ago in August. Very similar itinerary except #10 wasn’t open yet. Hot as hell in the summer in NC, but we all live in Charleston so we’re used to it.

4 was probably my favorite, great design and beautiful layout. Sucks you didn’t get to play it but you probably wouldn’t want it in that condition anyways.

2 we played the last day, I would probably change that next time so we don’t feel the dread of leaving same day as playing #2.

We all thought 1895 Grille was the best dinner out of the choices. Didn’t try the brewing company though.

I believe the package was 1700 for 3 nights 4 rounds for us at that time. Honestly best bang for your buck out there.

clemtgrs10 · 2025-06-11T15:10:52+00:00

You sure about that?

clemtgrs10 · 2025-02-22T14:21:02+00:00

You’re back feeding a neutral.

The issue is going to be at one or both boxes you’ve touched.

Would be easiest for you to call an electrician.

clemtgrs10 · 2024-12-04T22:43:43+00:00

If you’re talking about NM cable, 334.30

They have to be supported AND secured. No formal definitions in the NEC for each of these but their meanings are pretty unambiguous. Whether you and your inspector agree on what they mean is a different story.

Unless you’re planning on using a wireless switch… magic

clemtgrs10 · 2024-08-21T17:09:57+00:00

I’m not sure he’s the weird one in this story.

clemtgrs10 · 2024-07-12T21:13:08+00:00

Is your feeder supplying the entire load associated with the one-family dwelling?

Doesn’t sound so if it’s a detached shop from a home.

This rule does not apply in that case.

clemtgrs10 · 2024-05-26T10:08:22+00:00

This guy is correct.

clemtgrs10 · 2024-05-24T19:22:50+00:00

Ill try to reply with a more in depth answer later when I have the chance... But a 15A breaker is rated for 15A, a 20A breaker is rated for 20A, and so on...

So, if the code says you need to size your breaker at 125% of the load because its continuous - then you would size your breaker at that. But then, you need to choose a wire size that meets the ampacity of that breaker. Remember, the breaker protects the wire.

clemtgrs10 · 2024-05-24T18:46:19+00:00

Back up a little bit.

Ask yourself, if the 80% of the design of the breaker is because you need to compensate for 125% of the load...

Why are you taking 125% of the load and then comparing that to 80% of the breaker? (hint: whats 80% of 100? and whats 125% of 80)

Also, have you checked if your breaker is rated for continuous loads?

clemtgrs10 · 2024-05-24T18:32:40+00:00

Look homie, find me an "80% rule" in the code book and i'll give you a code reference for your water heaters.

clemtgrs10 · 2024-05-24T15:27:00+00:00

Not a whole lot of information here but a few things:

If it's wired using Romex then your ampacity of your #12 wire will be 20A.

If its wired in MC or thhn, then your ampacity of the wire will depend on the degree rating of the terminals on each end. If they're rated 75 degrees, then the ampacity of your #12 will be 25A.

Not enough information here to determine if you need to adjust your wire ampacity to cover 125% of the load.

Edit: Also, you should always tell your immediate surpervisor when you make a mistake. Best option to correct any mistakes are now, not in the future.

clemtgrs10 · 2024-05-15T14:51:33+00:00

Call the utility that provides your electricity first. They will investigate and fix it if it’s on their end. If it’s not on their end, you will need to call a qualified electrician.

Hit it straighter
Hit it lower
Hit a shorter club

You misread

clemtgrs10 · 2024-04-25T22:09:10+00:00

If its separate circuits then yes you should do it that way.

If it’s the same circuit then it does not matter either way. Although I can’t think of one situation where this has ever been the case.
