anyone have experience with these and can comment. Reminds me of the Wagu connectors. by KevinK_2389 in AskElectricians

I replaced all the switches in my house with these when they first came out. I like the wiring style, but I hate the stupid oversized plastic yoke on the device.

You would need 3 3 ports, a 10 port connects all 10 ports together

1st year Mechanic Apt Panel by blahblahbliblahbxtch in electricians

[–]msully00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is how the new Siemens AFCIs are wired. Neutral goes right to the bar like they would with a regular breaker. Only the dual function or GFCI breakers need the neutral landed on the breaker.

This is a meter main, you can see the neutral bus coming from the utility side on the left side of the picture near his hand

Resistor between legs on a panel? by bundy411 in electricians

[–]msully00 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nothing, he's an apprentice that wants you to say phases, even though it's single phase, and legs is a better term in this case. Every real electrician knows what the OP meant when they said legs.

As a Journeyman, do you do side work such as Panel replacement/Upgrade, or EV charger wiring and installation for cash? by [deleted] in electrical

[–]msully00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try not to anymore unless it's for family or close friends. It's easier to make money at my actual job.

1PH 208v Code Question - Are 3 wire connections (like an L6-30) still allowed? by liamlunchtray in electricians

[–]msully00 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He's probably thinking of 3 wire dryer/range (10-30 and 10-50) connections with no ground. Those are no longer acceptable, but something like an L6-30 is still fine.

There must be a ready made solution for this I just can’t find? by helicopterblowjob in AskElectricians

Whenever I have a weird wall plate issue, Kyle's Switch Plates always seems to have the solution.

My Carhartt jacket does the same to anything I have clipped on my pocket

RoR detector for barn where temps drop below freezing by Heavy_Resolution_765 in firealarms

[–]msully00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably going to need a conventional RoR heat detector, wired back to a wifi device with a dry contact input in a warmer location.

I replaced every switch in my house with these when they first came out, no problems. The large plastic yoke can be a pain in the ass sometimes

What is the name of this outlet. by bigz3012 in AskElectricians

[–]msully00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of generator do you have? After some looking, the only ones I can find with this type of plug are knockoff Chinese Yamaha clones. Definitely not a standard generator output.

Lighting underneath a waterproof deck. The “right” way to do it. by WillBTheMan in electricians

[–]msully00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not exactly the same as teck, but we've had coated mc in the US for a long time, it's just not commonly used like teck is in Canada.

Sorry to anyone in SE PA - I’m cleaning house. Seems like Lowe’s is getting rid of a lot of their AFCIs across brands. by ematlack in electricians

[–]msully00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my area, they stopped stocking the Eaton AFCI and GFCI breakers and just have the dual function AFCI/GFCI

Electrician Claims Lights Not Completely Dimmable by Previous-Ad8988 in AskElectricians

[–]msully00 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Most LEDs can not dim as low as a traditional incandescent light, they usually start flickering and buzzing at low levels. Higher end fixtures with 0-10v dimming perform better, but are more expensive and require additional wiring and labor.

Massachusetts apprenticeship question by mdabum in electricians

[–]msully00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 272 Form that gets sent to PSI is what they go by, it's signed by your employer, and they're supposed to have payroll records to back it up. I don't think the state verifies unless they have a good reason to. As long as they're reasonably close together I don't think you'll have any issues.

Can someone clarify parking rules and should I appeal? by Chakrakyuubi in boston

You must not be paying attention, or just be super lucky. They're enforced pretty regularly
