So can I use the armorlite for my circuit or not:dunno:

Im hooking up a hobart handler 190. Bought 10-2 romex, and planned to pull it through 3/4 emt. I didnt realize that i had to buy a seperate bender just for 3/4, I have 1/2". Well then at lowes I passed by some armored flex and am thinking it would be simpler just to run that instead, no...

Thanks for everyone's input. I have decided to go 10/2 and 30 amp breaker. Its been a while since Ive posted here and my shop progress stalled out due to a few health issues. I back for the most part now and will try and finish my shop. Good to be back to a site where old school knowledge is...

Thanks to all who have replied, I will recap what I think I understand... 1. I can run 10 /2 wg and 30A breaker. 2. I do not have the welder yet therefor the only access I could find was a one page spec data from the manufacturer which really was not clear on wire size. My goal is to have the...

Did a quick search and couldn't couldn't find anything. Getting ready to purchase wire and breaker to accommodate Hobart 190. From what I gather, I will need 6ga wire and a 50a breaker...? The welder will not be under a serious extended load at anytime.

The walls are 8Ft tall, 2x4 studs, romex 12/2 wire. Inside walls and outside(to my shop wall) will be covered in 1/2 sheetrock. dimensions are 14Wx30L within my 30x50 shop...

I am building an office within my shop (stand alone building)..., it just dawned on me that I may have to place 2x4 fire blocks within the framing of the walls...?, Im leaning towards no and hopefully I am correct as I am almost 3/4 through rough wiring:eyecrazy:

I am bulding a 14X 30 office within my 30x50 shop. Am I required to put 2x4 fire blocks in between the studs...., This just dawned on me..., hopefully not as I am almost 3/4 of the way done with rough wiring...:eyecrazy:

Could someone pls tell me if my wiring plan will work as mentioned at the begging of this post will work :eyecrazy:

OK, I was leaning towards 12/2 for the lights anyhow its just so damn difficult to deal with at the boxes... with that being said, is my wiring proposal correct / safe...?

Help..., I am getting confused .. I have a small bath...my current plan is as follows: my input lead is 12/2. It is a dedicated circuit for the bath only. I have two outlets, two lights and a light / fan combo. I want to tie all lights to include the fan to all come on using one single pole...

Thats what I used as logic..., but then again, like I said, Im new at this , working slowly and as safely as possible.

So can the disconnect be mounted 9 ft off the ground...? Also isnt it suppossed to be within arms reach of the device it disconnects...?

Aceman..., could you give me a quick explaination of how that is used..., Im new to this and have never heard of one of those

building a 30x14 room inside my shop. interior wall back side faces open part of my shop.., problem is I have to put outlets on both sides of wall. Does the NEC say anything about this type scenario. I understand the whole issue of putting metal protection plates where wiring runs through...
