Here is another one. A couple of years ago I was doing some electrical work, with a hand held meter, and when minutes later went to use it again, it would not turn on. For some reason got into my head that I had used it on ohms instead of voltage and set it aside. Long later, I though, I...

I am back. First let me apologize because, I wrote a reply thanking for all suggestions, pending having the time to go through them, bu I realize now I never submitted it. Now, update. When I was testing, I was taking playing with the braker on a off. Today I went there, and was...

I had to move the garage door push button (PB), and after doing so, it does not work any more. This what I did. I turned off breaker feeding the unit. I removed the low voltage cable from the PB. While doing so I noticed there were markings on the back for RED and WHT, and that the wires...

I looked into those and similar, but first, I have a receptacle inside the garage, about 12' distance from where the AC unit will be, and second, the disconnect wil be exposed to snow drifting upwards from down hill, which makes the opening under problematic. It would have been easy to wire...

Not enough from 2020 NEC. It remains as it was up to four grounds, but for each additional, a forth of that must be added. 314.16(B)(5) Equipment Grounding Conductor Fill. Where up to four equipment grounding conductors or equipment bonding jumpers enter a box, a single volume allowance in...

That will work for me. I understand. It will be 10/2... will it be that bad? I have siding with a bit more that 7" board exposed. The QO above wil fit flush i one board, wich I think would be neater. In the pull out kind, I have found the MIDWEST U065P, about the same size. Locally I...

Is that the only point? The one I linked to is $18, so it will nor break the bank... Sure, once all in place, I will caulk from behind, as the garage wall, for now, is still open on the back. How do you secure the wire? if it was a metal box inside, I would use the common wire clamp with...

I am planning the installation of an AC disconnect for a mini split. Is there an advantage one way or another between plain pullout and switch? Currently I am looking at the EATON QO200TR as a switch option. Comments? Also, the wire will be NM-B 10/2. What is the best wire connector...

I have been going through this planning exercise for a while. I am finishing wiring of third garage space, 15x25, as a shop, still unfinished, but plan to insulate and close. I had a vendor look at it and initially talked about a 18K btu but came with proposal for 24K, two options, GREE and...

Yes, I am looking for dimming. I have been looking for tubes and for some reason, the 5000k are hard to find. I am still time away from the project... just starting to look.

Great thread! I am about half through it. I wonder if anyone has tried Type-C tubes with external dimmable driver.
