Wrong! only if your 30 something. After 50 it anytime your muscles are hurting bad. :D

According to the math a 220v /6kw load should be protected by a source a providing protection device of 27a minimal and 33a recommended.

Unless that 7kw load has its own internal built in protection (breaker fuse), then you will certainly need the minimal size available breaker (40a) or fuse at the source to protect it. Because it is wired to a 50a protected source unless you protect that appliance as stated, the appliance will...

Oh I know that, and sorry my sarcasm in an attempt to congratulate your DIY achievement was misunderstood, I'm on your side lol. Its actually great to hear that particular system requiring no special tools worked so well for you. Even though I have my HVAC college cert, EPA cert, and cornucopia...

Manufacturers should have a bracket on the top of the outside unit where excess of a few loops can be secured in a flat oval racetrack position. In my case my lineset length is only 16' so measured a few times and may have 18 inches left over and may make a bracket to make one flat loop on...

Hay watch it now! Its not suppose to be that easy, you almost ran over my toes LOL. I couldn't help noticing the link add coined the phrase "Revolutionary".... Hmmm?

FAQ answer provided by almost every "Industry" mini-split ductless brand name website: What do I do with the extra line set? If there is extra refrigerant line set, simply coil it in a convenient manner. As a precaution, take care to prevent it from damage by lawn care activities, or from...

You forget being an acomplihed DIY hacker your calling out to "the choir". But from one hacker to another I think as part of my annual maintenance I will invest in these breaker box protectors for my rental indoor central units, according to specifications 37kA is more then enough to protect...

Well since I can't get any information on how using just one 120v leg of that 220v circuit would affect the performance of that 50a double pole surge protector/breaker (still work?), I may go back to a "point of use" protector at the disconnect. Nevertheless, the concept of replacing tradition...

Tray- hope you don't mined I hijack a couple more questions on surge protectors, as I think you were also interested.. OK! I think maybe I may have found the easiest and simplest surge protection solution for myself. As I posted I will be using 1 leg off a dedicated 240V 50a source at the...

Wow after reading a couple papers on surge protection application and their discharge current ratings, it turns out that type3 point of use 3-6kA (the one I bought) is really not much use over time and can fail unexpectedly placing the equipment at risk...Hmmmm Although the Supco 150 is a Type...

I never seen that one. Although a bit pricier certainly mounts nicely to the outside disconnect knockout, nice and clean. I was reading that the only problem is that it is rated pretty low rating of only 10ka for repeated hits compared to most other 75ka. There were also concerns about it being...

Mine is a 12000BTU 120V non-inverter 13 seer heat pump. Most industrial serg suppressors are to expensive except for the plug in type like this...

My ID/OD unit arrived 2 weeks ago and have been waiting for a few special order parts. A 30 amp fused disconnect becasue rather than running a dedicated 30 amp 120V circuit from the other side of the house 60 feet away where the breaker box is located, Im going to use 1 leg off an existing 50A...

Nothing worse then a DIY homeowner hacking a traditional trade effectively and achieving major cost avoidance....how dare you LOL :D. All kidding aside, I'm proud of you! Congratulations on a job well done.
