Didn't ask, it didn't look like anything turned to me.

Had my barn feeder and panel inspected and the inspector was packin a torque wrench. He checked the lugs and breakers for proper torque but never touched a wire nut one. He also told me I went overkill on the EMT in the barn, said Romex would have been fine?

Just wanted to say thanks again! Waited 2 weeks for the only electric inspector in my county office to show up. It has rained hard here for days, my trench was pretty much a river but I passed with flying colors yesterday.

Perfect, thank you!

Thanks guys. I guess I'll do a 12" box and 2" conduit up to the box. I am doing the 2-2-2-4 still, that's why I thought about going smaller on the box and conduit. Other than curb appeal... So on the free length of wire splice in the box, 300.14 states 6" from where it exits the conduit...

I know the answers are in the code book somewhere (or maybe not?) but I don't know whether to sh!t or go blind trying to find them. I have tried finding installation instructions/ guidelines for the junction boxes without any luck. Any help at all would be appreciated on this.

So I have the 2" conduit trenched in and was thinking about bushing down to 1-1/4" out of the top of the 90's at the house and barn. The only reason is to keep the junction box size down to an 8x8x4 on the side of the house, will this be an issue or should I stick with a 12x12x6 box? Also...

No AC, wood stove for heat, largest motor is 2hp on the mill and the welder is a gasoline powered Miller legend For what I have in the wire I could scrap it and come out ahead and I could just pull in heavier wire if I need more capacity later down the road.

The wire I have is single rated USE-2 xlpe I was shopping for MHF when this was offered up for beer money. The shop I have been using for the last 10 years is wired with 10UF from a 30 amp double pole breaker in the house and has never tripped it. For what little I do in the shop I'm sure a 50...

Mill, lathe and air compressor all of which are currently running off of a 20 amp 110 breaker but can be wired 240 and 10 4' t8 lights. I thought I had to have a 60 amp disconnect for a sub panel?

I am trying to draw up a plan so I can pull a permit to run a feeder to my pole barn and have a few questions. I am trenching in 2" pvc conduit, total of 200 feet with 2 45's in the mix to feed 2-2-2-4 use-2 aluminum in it. I plan to feed it with a 50 amp breaker to a 100 amp breaker in the barn...

Here's my Delta/Rockwell 15-000, finally getting around to finishing it up...

I use an XL3000 myself and I have no complaints.. Search EZ Red XL3000 or pay 3x for it on the tool trucks....

Great seller! Exactly as described, fast shipper.

Because it is missing the clip in this picture that goes in the groove on the lead screw.
