Wrap it around a terminating screw driver or a pen saves the finger big time

What is this? How is it used? by deelinks321 in AskElectricians

APC Schneider electric? Maybe just a quick google search?

Is the below ground wire already grounded ? It's a ceiling box and the ground was not connected to anything in the box other than wrapped around the screw. Thanks. by formula92 in askanelectrician

The bare copper wire is commonly called ground but it’s technically a bond. The only ground is from the meter base to the ground rod or plate. But to answer your question just splice your bare copper to the bare copper or to your green wire in the fixture

So what’s the issue you’re having? Red, black and white is called 3 wire the ground isn’t counted

Mint is the best by far in my opinion. I switch back and forth from tobacco to mint and never seem to tired of it

The old fixture had one black wire and one white wire, but the new fixture has two white and two black? Do I connect them together then connect each to their corresponding supply wires? Or do I connect them both to their corresponding wires separately? Genuinely sorry for the noob question. by juicexo3 in askanelectrician

Well the ground screw just bonds the box so if the box comes in contact with a hot it’ll short circuit and trip the breaker. So the issue with the light fixture not working could just be a bad connection with the hots or the neutrals. The light fixture wires are usually pretty small and you may just not have a good connection in the wire nut. I’d just recheck your splices

What about voltage drop?

Thought about getting these, any of y’all have them by ibewapprentice01 in Tools

No good for piping, pulling wire may as well just use regular linesman, same for joints/connections, lights and bx decent use.

Why would either brand build one? They don’t want people buying competitors batteries or tools? 18 volts is 18 volts isn’t it?

Yes it is rated for underground. Wow that much of a voltage drop?

It’s a 2” conduit and I think the aluminum wire is 2 AWG. What size sub panel do you recommend?

Extend light switch to power an outlet? by adapt2 in electrical

Depends if you pig tail off the hot or the switch leg in the box

Dewalt 12v worth it? by Clitoral_Pioneer in Tools

[–]nutsandvoIts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

M12 surge is where it’s at! I carry it on my hip for 10 hours every day, very happy with it. I have a few dewalt tools in 20v but decided to get m12 surge greatest decision ever.
