Thanks Wyliesdiesels, will keep that in mind,dont think i have a motor bigger than 3HP.

Called up the inspector today he said hard wired rather than plugs would be fine,he asked if the tools were hard wired perviously,i told him they were I thought thats good for me as i dont intend to move a lathe around once its trued up to the floor,or the milling machine for that matter,same...

Im looking for ideas to hang some plug in type lights from my garage ceiling,I need pictures or input as to how to wire up 8 plug receptacles to my ceiling for my lights,i would have a 2 gang switch for 2 lights,and on the same circuit i would like to have a 3 gang switch that works 6 lights, 2...

I know it sounds silly to drill a hole into an LB fitting but thats what i was told by an electrician who works in this area and was here on Monday,i have no plans to drill a hole into the LB,just seems pointless to drill into a sealed unit thats all.I think the hole works like a drain in case...

I was told that LB fittings need a quarter inch drain hole,is this true and how can you drill the hole when the wire has has already been pulled through and the LB mounted to outside wall entering the house,its located 6 inch from the ground which i think it still ok with code.Going to be a pain...

No LOL, he does residential, he charged me 80.00 for an hour of his time didnt really answer all my questions and he explained it all before i could jot some of it down,i have alot of respect for electricians .I have a electrical ESA permit as a homeowner and need much help finishing the rough...

Had an electrician tell me i would more than likely need to wire up my lathe mill and compressor to a wall plug and not hard wired ,is this needed to meet code in Ontario Canada for a garage.

If it makes any difference this rough in work will be inspected by ESA and in located in southern Ontario GTA area.

2 Gang switch on one side of the building and 3 gang switch on other side wall diagonally across from 2 gang.Can i run 14-2 to bring power the switch first ,Do i also run 14-2 from the 2 gang switch to the 3 gang switch on the other wall? where do i need 14-3 other than from the switch to the...

Hello,i would like to wire 5 light switches to 8 lights on its own 15 amp breaker for my garage,2 light switches for 2 lights in one part of garage,and 6 lights on 3 switches, 2 lights per switch for the rest of the garage,im going with flush mount plug in receptacles not junction boxes,using...

I was wondering about some antishorts that came with my roll of AC90 14-2 wire i have been using them while running the wire to my receptacles,i noticed they have a narrow tab at the end that looks like it may be made to fit into the clamp portion for the metal receptacle box for the AC90 type...

Talked with the Inspector today he said not using the rotosplit would be fine just to be careful when making cuts.I guess it would be wise to check all the cuts i have made,the wires are clamped in the receptacle boxes, should i pull the wire out to be sure there isnt any nicks in the wire or...

Hi,im running AC90 wire in the walls of my pole barn,will the inspector check the cuts where the anti-short (redhead)bushing goes?Was going to buy a Roto Split tool but decided to just bend it and cut it with side cutters is this an ok method?Do i need to have my duplex receptacles in for a...

I am having second thoughts about the AC-90 cable i ran to start to rough in part of my new shop i used a 75m spool on just the back section of my shop and being on a tight budget i now realize it may cost more to wire the shop up this way,not to mention its more work, the receptacle boxes are...

Hi ,im just wondering what the pros and cons of having lights and plugs wired on the same breaker VS running them separate ? Asking because i have a 30x44 pole barn with 60 AMP feed from house,Im going to use 2 lathes, milling machine, drill press, compressor,12 lights, roughly 30 outlet...

Update!!! just found out the service i have is for recess mount,it has 2 screws at the back that dont all for it to sit 100% flush on the plywood backer,so in the wall it goes, i guess.:eyecrazy:

ARD,those beams arent full wall thickness, two 2 x 12s with a 2 x 6 on its edge in between for my framing wall between posts.I should be able to insulate with no issues.Also its no big deal to take down the osb ,insulation and mount panel inside the wall but i would still have that problem at...

Im almost sold on the idea of recess mount,just need to look at the pros and cons of hidden wire vs exposed wire, if you need to change anything in the future it is a pain with wire hidden behind a wall. I mentioned i was going to hook up a lathe, mill, compressor,drill press and im still not...

If this is the only solution to not have exposed wires,maybe i should start over again,and recess the panel in the wall.I have EPS behind the insulation .Would i need to cover the EPS foam with plywood?then a vapor barrier ?This is also the corner of the building that gets hit the most with wind...
