    Can a regular 110v household switch be used for 20A 220v?

    The switch must be rated in HP to handle the load...a motor is a inductive load, there is a pretty large current draw when the motor first engages and slightly dissipates as the motor comes to normal speed.

    MMI Orlando Harley Davidson Program questions

    Thanks Toolhorder... Fortunately, in some ways, I don't need to worry about working due to being retired and VA compensation, I make enough to live quite comfortably on. I "worked" for 14 years, taking orders from others, being shot at, and picking off pieces of what used to be my friends off...

    MMI Orlando Harley Davidson Program questions

    I just got some confirmation from the Snap-On rep at the school in Orlando. The max limit on hand-tool's a student can purchase is $7500, then you are allowed one roll cab and top, or roll cab and service cart. I've decided upon the KRA2411 54" 11 drawer roll cab as my main storage and I'll...

    MMI Orlando Harley Davidson Program questions

    I'm excited about going to MMI but I can wait...I have time...and Congress is getting a LOT of pressure from Veteran's Groups and Congressman/Senator's asking exactly why technical and trade school's were omitted from the new bill known as the Post 9/11 GI Bill. The newest VSO that is really...

    I am 100& disabled by the VA for PTSD alone, but not listed as "unemployable" so I could, if I wanted to in the future, work and still retain my 100% VA comp and my retirement....the VA could care less what I do or not do as far as employment....the only time you can't work is if you are 100%...

    Snap-on 3/8" Speeder for trade for T72 ratchet

    See if there's any interest out here for this... I have a Snap-on F4LB 3/8" speeder handle that I found in our basement when we bought this house and I have absolutely no use for it and thought somebody here may like it. I'd like to get a Snap-on T72 1/4" standard handle ratchet for it...

    MMI Orlando Harley Davidson Program questions

    I've actually thought of doing a blog while I am attending MMI in Orlando...the first 36 weeks is the prerequistie portion of the school where it covers basic theory of all the major systems and components of the motorcycle...then, after that portion, you can "specialize" in either US or Metric...

    Thanks... I may re-consider the 3/8" air ratchet set....the only thing that really drew me to it was the price and it includes a bunch of sockets with the set and all for around $500 or so and includes the following: Description: 3/8" Drive Air Ratchet and Socket Sets, 5-70 ft. lbs. and...

    GFI Tripping

    There's a dead-short someplace is my first assumption...it could be a faulty GFCI. Unleass you meant that the GFCI portion of the circuit just "popped" out sensing a fault. GFCI's monitor the current between the "hot" and "Neutral" and will trip if they "see" a difference of between 4 and 6...

    Hey from Soutwest Virginia

    Hey gang....just found this site from a search online with a related thread and well, thought I'd join up and hopefully learn a lot in the process. A bit about me...I'm a medically retired US Marine with a little over 14 years of Active Duty service before they retired me. I'm officially...
