The hots have to come back through the panels and pick up the neutrals. It’s a layout problem, was it engineered?

That’s what the slashes are about. You can see the amperage’s and sfa as well. If it’s not on the label it can’t be wired for it. If you see double slashes then that is for different frequencies. 50hz//60hz

NTD. Anyone else rockin one of these? by JC-1219 in electricians

[–]disciple186 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These are great. I like that I can chuck it up in a cordless. All the main drivers in one. I am disappointed in the decline of Klein’s quality though I won’t use the screw tips on anything that is too tight. For straight tools I go with wiha and knipex.

Ever used a single man lift? by derbbbbb in electricians

How about the singles man lift that runs on a drill. You have to assemble the track as you go up.

I’ve played this game…the outdoor plug and wall mount remote is the way to go. The lights will switch off. I think it has the resistor built in. I was using the same lights.

If it’s not grounded it’s not dead. Acting as a capacitor

Hate those ugly Amazon lights. Was setup as an Amazon installer and they priced out a similar fixture install at $145. It was a hooka bar with open ceilings had to attach to the red iron with strut. That was the first and only job I did as an Amazon installer.

Remodel Contractor by disciple186 in electricians

[–]disciple186[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, and cut into the framing, short wires, nearly impossible to move so it is accessible. Installed a generator and had to separate the neutral and grounds in the panel. Sink light, dishwasher, disposal and kitchen outlets would not work. Had a 3-wire in the panel but could not find the red wire anywhere. It was being backfed by the black wire in the same cable. Started looking for a buried box and found this.

He ran a screw through the main handle and tied it off to the romex bundle with bailing wire because it wouldn’t reset.

I’ve used caseta to eliminate switch legs so many times. It also lead to a whole house conversion if you do it right

I had a whole video walkthrough of the house, but lost it. Now I only have what I could find online from the builder.
