It’s me again… Just installed 70’ of 10 awg wire for a 240v mini split. The ends of the wires were reading 258v-263 & 128v-131v respectively. When I took the voltage at the breaker, I was around 243v & 123v. Why would the voltage be different?

How the heck are y’all running 3 strands of 10 awg wire through 70’ of 1/2” flex conduit? I was able to **** a string from one end to the other, but I could only pull the wire about 12 feet into the conduit before it got tough. Took the string off and could only push the wire in the same...

Please don’t mind the mess. I just got done building a fence on the back part of the property and that’s where all this garbage is coming from. Anyhow, this picture shows the low area in my backyard against the side of the property. A few months ago we got a really bad, torrential downpour and...
