Thank you for your help in this matter. It's looking like I'm gonna have to wait until Saturday to get back in the panel to address this as well as install my interlock kit and inlet box. I'm pretty sure the tape on my ground wires is green and just looks black in the picture. I'm not sure...

I'm in an unincorporated area of Liberty county, not Harris. This pole/meter/panel was installed about 6 years ago. What issues do you see that need to be addressed?

Thank you! I will double check when I get home but yes, I believe both sub panels are 200amps with the appropriate sized wire feeding them. I had inquired about getting a 320amp service but, I don't recall the reason that didn't happen. If it had, I would have installed a 200amp breaker for...

For clarification, the wires going to the bus bar on the right are as follows Three large white wires: Neutral from meter Neutral to house sub panel Neutral to shop sub panel Three smaller green wires Ground to ground rod at base of pole Ground to house sub panel Ground to shop sub panel

Thank you. I have a bit of an electrical background from previous employment and know the dangers of back feeding, improper wire size. suicide cords, etc. I do intend to use a transfer switch in the future. I think I found online how to un-bond the Miller. And from what I understand, it will...

Hello everyone. My service truck has a Miller Bobcat 225 welder with 11kw generator that I am setting up for emergency power. I have an interlock kit on the way for the 50 amp breaker that I have installed at the main panel. This main panel is under the meter and has the main breaker that feeds...

Looks terrific!

I've been kicking around the idea of getting atleast one Mackie Thump 15bst powered BT speaker. They are supposed to be on the lower spectrum of professional DJ/Club type setup. Check them out

Hello all. I have a metal shop 40x60 with 18ft sidewalls and a 40x30 apron on the front (North) wall. It has 2) 14x14 doors on the front and another 14x14 centered on the back (South) wall. The shop has the typical white faced insulation. Not only are the doors not insulated, but they also...

Pretty good idea

Yes, I know that you wouldn't recommend them for that reason, which is why I offered my apologies. These lights came with zero literature and I know that I am taking a gamble on the quality and lifespan of these, but I feel comfortable (so far) with the investment at only $13ea.

I don't feel like the pics really do justice, but let me state that I work in a large metal building, LOTS of my friends have metal buildings and I really feel like this new setup of mine is superior to all of them in light output, light dispersion, cost and ease of installation. Also, I forgot...

I'd like to start off by thanking Platonic Sound for sharing his expertise, knowledge and more importantly his time with me. That being said, I'd also like to offer him an apology for straying from his recommendations. My shop is 40x60 with 18' sidewalls. At first, I was TOTALLY against the...
