We're on the same sheet about adding the red 6 awg to the wires from the 6/2. I'm tracking on the no break in the grounds, or in my case the 2 sets from 2 different panels which will be in complete different locations. Actually the cable/phone guys just grounded their boxes to the...

There is currently 1 grounding rod already installed at wired to the new main panel, I was adding the second rod to bring it up to date. I'm tracking on adding the hot leg to the 6/2, was going to use some red 6 awg I had left over from another project. I have the 220v leg disconnect at...

So there need to be additional ground rods installed for an interior panel that is in the same structure as the main panel? Or do I just need to separate the grounds from the neutral in there interior panel? If I do need to run 4 wires to the interior panel, then I guess I'll just add an...

I'm sure it's 3 phase from the pole. Here's the recently changed out new wire to the house that the power company put in. I asked if they could remove the 3 phase wire and put in regular single phase, but they stated that they couldn't due to my house being in the historic district. Here's...

Well I recently moved from SC to TX, and bought a home that was built in 1951 and has a detached 2 car garage about 30 feet from the main structure. The house still has 3 phase run from the pole, even after I had the electric company change out the lines from the pole due to a bad neutral and...

Another miller 211 owner here, along with a diversion 180 and spectrum 375. The 211 is a great machine that is still portable and the MVP is an added plus. If I didn't need something portable and/or MVP then I would either pick up a used 251 or a 252. The duty cycle on the 251/252 is awesome...

Thanks for the suggestion, I never would have thought of that one. I picked up 15 ft of 6-3 NM-B to finish the run out. Now the only issue is getting the 6-3 up into the main box. There are only 3 hubs in the bottom of the box, which are pretty much full. My initial though is to just drill...

Something told me that, so I have already run everything in conduit with the exception of the vertical piece running up from under the house into the box. Only issue I foresee is the drilling of the hole through the sub floor for the 1" conduit, as the location where all of the wiring is run up...

That was exactly the question that I was asking, so I went to lowes and picked up a second 8 ft grounding and 25 ft of #6 solid. Started wiring up the sub panel and separating the circuits in the shop. Got the interior and exterior lighting circuits finished up, along with the main outlet...

Got it, thanks. Will go with the #6 solid and 2 grounding rods. Will the #6 solid need to be run in conduit? If so I will run it in a separate conduit. Do the 2 grounding rods need to be separated by 6 ft or more, or is distance between the rods not an issue? Got it on the 10 AWG for the 30A...

This is my first post on this forum and I have to say that there is definitely info here that has helped me with my latest project, but I wanted to get some opinions on my work/plan thus far to make sure everything is good to go. Brief history: Detached shop in SC that is a 100' run from the...
