Received mine on Thursday, set is complete. Only issue is the delivery person set the package on the my lowest step in the rain, while the top step and deck are under a roof and were nice and dry. After making sure everything inside was dry, all is well.

Just purchased for 48.61 with prime shipping, it showed 53.99 when I put it in my cart, but when I proceeded to buy it updated to the lower price, should have it in a few days.

Posting to hold a spot for adding photos

I just purchased a Paramo HI Duty No 5. It seems to be in fair condition, I have done some reading here but dont find alot of information. Is there any way to tell what era it was made? 1950S, 70s? I am looking forward to cleaning it up and will get better photos.

Last rotary I installed was based on a 50hp motor. By the time the cost of the convertor, power wiring to it and from it to load is considered and installing a 3 phase voltage sensing relay to the control circuit of the end load. it is much more complicated to install and then you have all the...

I am fairly new to this site, I am a Master Electrician and discovered that Platonic Solid is helping people with lighting layouts. Wanted to commend him for helping people, there is some work involved to this and the quality of the responses he is giving are excellent!! Give credit where...

I have installed rotary convertors, many years ago. I would use a VFD before a rotory convertor.

Very good point!!:thumbup:

I believe you can use multiple 230 volt receptacles on a circuit, if no single fixed in place load is rated at 50% or more of the ampacity of the circuit. Not sure what the loads of your compressor, welder and hoist are? Edit: Also agree that ceiling height and surface finishes as well as Oh...

Depending on what type of exterior finish you have and the depth of the lights base it may be possible to use a round pan box. Available in both steel or plastic. Also most pan boxes are only for one NM cable to enter as most are only 1/2" thick. So if you have 2 cables they are not big enough.

Many years ago having NM cable coming out of wall and hard wiring dishwashers was common. Been many years since I have wired a new home but the last one I did I put a single 20 amp dedicated receptacle behind it and a cord on the dishwasher. In my area this is becoming the common practice as...

I agree. I have seen the effects of connections that are not tight. I prefer to use a grounding conductor in EMT as well.

GFCI receptacle does not trip from overload. And the days of nuisance tripping on GFCIs I think are long past. I believe a standard GFCI will trip at about 4-5 milli-amps unbalance. They make GFCI receptacles for special loads that have a slightly higher trip rating. About 10 milli-amps I think.

Rules vary between US and Canada, also rules can vary by areas within the same state. In many instances the Authority Having Jurisdiction can interpret things differently. Many years ago I had a local inspector that would require a sub panel in same structure have a main breaker if the sub...
