    Home alarm battery backup issue

    For some reason our Christmas lights have been tripping the ARC fault breakers, but not all the time. And unfortunately its on the same circuit as the alarm. So we have been waken up at night from the alarm going off since the breaker tripped. But this has always bugged me, but just happens...

    Home alarm battery backup issue

    I have a wired Honeywell system, it was installed with 2 12v 10ah batteries, one for the control board, one for the motion and glass sensors. Problem I have is that the sensor battery drains way faster and sets the alarm off in a power outage. I am thinking just wiring the 2 batteries in...

    Want to verify this SER wire

    There is not enough sheath to see the wire size out. 3 conductors, one bare ground. I think it’s 4/0 4/0 4/0 -2/0 but want to double check as I can’t find any local to buy, so would have to order it. I only need 10ft. I guess my other option would be buying single 4/0 wire? All they sell...

    Need advice on wifi control for my well pump

    I see they have a 16a version, would use that instead. As for the line input, seems there is probably a connection at the pressure switch that has the mains coming in. You don’t have that pictured. All the connections for the WiFi unit should be connected there. At the pressure switch you...

    Attic fan manual “on” switch

    Any specs on that Tstat? Or what model attic fan it is? Some fans now are DC and that “Tstat” maybe a converter also., or maybe have caps in it.

    Have a light circuit coming off my house, anyway to feed it to sub panel?

    I have one wall switch that was put in to control outdoor lights by our pool. It’s on a circuit with other lights in the same wall box. There is an empty conduit that was put in that goes to a sub panel for the pool equipment. I was going to run the 3 conductors through this conduit to the...

    Powerwall 2 or 3?

    I honestly would do it with a Propane Generator(Generac) Power walls are still so new, and like you see its already going to a 3. The tech is still so new, its still evolving. If they are getting a Cybertruck, i would hold off on the PW and just use that with a generator. The only benefit of...

    Generac transfer switch to a sub panel?

    @mm08822 @reader2580 @Norcal @wyliesdiesels OK, this is what i am going to do: 1)Mount the ATS inside behind the Main panel, will have a short 2" ****** to connect the two. 2)Will pull the wires going to the Sub and bring those into the ATS output. 3)Run new wire from the 200a main breaker to...

    Generac transfer switch to a sub panel?

    16kw, just for lights, recepts. No hvac, gas appliances. Sub to main is probably 50-60ft(wire length) Gen to ats would be 8-12 ft away(wire length)

    Generac transfer switch to a sub panel?

    Bit confused now, So is the correct way to wire it: 1) keep the 200a in the main fed by the meter. Output of the 200a feeds the transfer switch 200a breaker. Output of the transfer switch to feed to the sub Or 2)connect meter to transfer switch 200a breaker. Output of transfer switch feeds the...

    Generac transfer switch to a sub panel?

    Ah, didn’t think about that this would become a new service main for the sub panel. Guess outside it has to go. Going to be much more fun now trying to get the wires out the wall since the panel is flush. Thanks! No concern that the generator has to feed a longer run? As typically they feed a...

    Generac transfer switch to a sub panel?

    The main is flush mounted, I could either mount on the wall next to it, or was thinking to mount it behind the panel as it’s a closet wall that I have access to. I would then only need to run the wires out to the generator. (Picture of the back of the panel before the walls went up) The...
