Hopefully my dad won't see this. I think he loves his ultra classic more than he loves me... :sad:

Must... resist... urge... to crack "clean out the harley trash" jab.... :lol_hitti j/k looks like a great space. Comfy and functional too!

We like to grab beer coasters from bars for use at home too. The girlfriend tacked a border up in the kitchen.

To the OP: #2-2-4-6 aluminium is good for 75A so you can round to the next closest standard breaker 70A or 80A at your choice for the feeder breaker in the house panel. Make sure the breaker is large enough to accept #2AL. Technically you should try to estimate your load to make sure you...

Maybe I'll try. Matt, you're right, a 240V, 30A, 2 pole breaker is rated to carry 30A on each pole. When you use a 120V circuit the current flows on one of the poles and back on the neutral limiting you to a 30A max on each pole or 60A of load @120V When you use a 240V circuit the current...

Woah woah woah slow down guys. Everyone knows trading Pre-popped caps is cheating. You have to pop the top yourself and properly dispose of the liquid in the bottle...:beer: Here are 50 recent acquisitions:

Its typical to use metallic elbows since that's where a lot of the pressure is on a long pull. How far do you have to go and what size wire/cable? They probably didn't know because the adapters are crazy expensive! Adapter...

Thats actually one of my favorite aphorisms. Apparently the penalty for getting caught is to pay 2x the normal permit fees. I know I need to tread lightly because someone has already reported me for "Running an illegal motorcycle repair shop" because my buddy and I were working on our bikes in...

I like seeing smaller builds since they are within striking distance of what I could do. What's your vision for the space; storage, workshop, auto/moto maintenance?

Please do! I'm in a similar situation now and have been doing a lot of research on this forum. I can already hear my wallet groaning.:lol: If you're going with #2CU THWN its a very popular size in industry so check prices at the box stores with your local electrical suppliers, the ebay...

Probably not. Voltage drop shouldn't be a problem on a run that short. If you're using Romex (Type NM) it just won't meet the NEC in case that matters to someone in the future. NM and it's variants are limited to the 60C column so #8=40A and #6=55A which allows you to round up to a 60A...

I haven't called yet, but the way its written if I want to change a single duplex in an existing 4x4 box to a quad I would have to hire an electrician who has paid the fee to register in my township. The electrician would pull the $50 permit, install the outlet, then hire a 3rd party inspector...

hahaha Touche. He's over 100A so the terminal discussion is moot in this thread. Sorry for the hijack. He's already on the right track. Main panel in house: 125A, 2P breaker with 75C terminals 3#2AWG CU THWN, 1#6AWG CU THWN ground Neutral taped white/gray, Ground green 2" electrical PVC...

Yeah I'll just have to find out. Thanks. From the light reading I've done, PA has adopted the 2009 IRC which includes the 2008 NEC by reference. As a commonwealth instead of a state it seems PA often leaves the final word (and whim:evil:) to the most local authority. I know a lot of people...

I used to think that <100A terminations defaulted to 60C but now I'm wondering about NEC 2011-110.14(C)(1)(a) (3) "Conductors with higher temperature ratings if the equipment is listed and identified for use with such conductors." I was browsing the CH load center catalog and all of the panels...

PS: Congratulations. These are the kinds of problems to have.

Tatternuts you're right in choosing THWN or another wire/cable rated for wet locations since you are running underground. PRH44 when you say this: 'If this breaker is installed in a panel with other breakers where heat can not escape as readily you will default to 60 degree c rating." Are you...

Good to know Ironcrow. That's what I was hoping for and my buddy said the same thing. I'm sure the AHJ will be able to enlighten me when I can make contact.
