its not safe. equipment ground must not be used as the neutral. Metal parts can become energized. Run a 4th conductor or if its a long way pick up a little 2kva 240-120v transformer (make sure to provide proper protection and bond the neutral on the secondary). Also GFCI protection is required...

man i like that house. install and hardwire the fixtures. If you put receptacles in they have to be GFCI protected, and with the humidity in FL combined with the leakage in a bunch of ballasts, you risk what people call 'nusience tripping' dont go to the bix box stores, get fixtures from an...

here is a use scenario for that cable in a residential garage application: you have 9 8ft 4 tube t8 fixtures, supply them with a 20 amp circuit. Run the circuit into a 3 gang switch box, then this 12/4 cable (if its 12/4 -pretty sure it is) from the 3 gang switch box through all the lights...

i liked the Enderes screwdrivers. Still have one sitting around from probably 20 years ago. I tried to buy them about a year ago and they had temporarily discontinued them due to a supplier issue with the handles (pratt read had bought the company that makes the CA handles right before they went...

make sure the female ends arent all worn out on the rental cords, and also tape the connected plugs together with some gaffers tape.

i wouldnt paint the front of the building. the peeling paint and brick has way too much charm.

open delta? :D

put a glob of silicone to secure the large plastic portion of the cfl

another use is to tap 480v off a walmart parking lot light to power your camper :D

here's a good example for using a pair of them. You have a gate opener and motion light out at the street, 600ft from your house. Instead of having to run some gigantic wire out there you use one transformer to step the voltage up to 480 or 600v run #10 wire instead of #2, and back down to 120v...

those are useful and bring around $100ea used at least around here.

post some pictures of your trench and each end of the conduit. that will help us help you.

install receptacles. They have to be protected by gfci, but dont have to be gfci. So use standard duplex, then supply them using a deadfront GFCI located next to the switch. Dont modify and hardwire the fixture.

is it overhead or underground?

you dont have a main breaker. The size of your service is determined by the ampacity of your service entrance conductors, or the rating of the panel, whichever is less.

generator inside for easier maintenance and weather protection, plus being able to have an 'open frame' type generator vs a fully enclosed unit. I've seen 50 year old generators that are indoors like this that look brand new. Also easier to deal with potential environmental issues if there is a...

if i had a concrete bunker like that, I would spring for a big diesel generator and 30-45 days of onsite fuel storage....maybe 2 for redundancy. and have them inside the structure (for those who say you cant have a generator inside, its done all the time in office buildings there are just...

i used to use some of those $5 hf meters until I discovered they always show ~100 ohms for anything 75-150 ohms... (dont know if it was all of them or just the two i had)

there is a SDS bit called a rebar cutter. When youre drilling and hit rebar you swap bits for the rebar cutter then once youre through the rebar you swap back to the masonry bit.

i wired one up using the existing drum switch on the lathe for fwd-stop-rev and added an E stop and potentiometer for speed. The VFD is in a control panel with a keyswitch, fault indicator, and reset button. 12/3 SJOOW cord for the input and actual VFD cable from the output to the motor. Also...
