    Compressor electric on/off switch what to do or use?

    The switch doesn't come with a box or cover, but TMShort linked to a separate cover. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003I86HFI/ Gatorgrabber was asking if that cover came with a box, or just the cover.

    Critique my wiring plan...

    Sorry, another compressor thread, but I'm settled on size. I just want some feedback on my plan. I'm installing a 60 gallon / 3.2 "running" hp compressor. (Older version of this Husky branded CH, when they were red and had a V-Twin pump rather than the parallel twin) Photo of motor plate is...

    LED bulbs that successfully work with electric Garage Door Openers

    I don't spend the premium for low consumption / green lighting for stuff that isn't going to be on long enough to make a difference. The GDO light is on for a few min at a time, and needs to put out just enough light so that I don't trip over the garbage cans. When I want light, i turn on the...

    What kind of lights?

    I have 4x 48" twin tube T8 fixtures in my 17x18 attached garage with a 9' ceiling. Fine for putting out the garbage, ;) but once I install the subpanel and rewire, I will be going to 6. With your 13' ceiling, my advice would be to push those 4 red lines out toward the perimeter of the building...

    Anyone familiar with the Leviton N1302-DS switch?

    Great product. Essentially the same as this one, http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ProductDetail.jsp?partnumber=MS302-DS&section=40132&minisite=10251 ...but in a nice box.

    Compressor electric on/off switch what to do or use?

    My underdstanding is that motor control switches are rated by HP and not current. If you look at the Leviton page for that switch, you can see that the 30A model is rated to 5hp on 240V

    Subpanel in attached garage.

    Planning on a basic 240v/4800W shop heater. unless I can find a decent, cheap forced air / hot water unit I can plumb into the boiler that runs my in-floor heating in the house. And 6-8x double tube 48" T8 fixtures. (<500W) the biggest draws will be the welders.....only one running at a...

    Subpanel in attached garage.

    Pretty common around here. Seems Minto installed them in every house they built around here in the early 2000's...At least every one with a 200A service, which, granted, isn't a lot. Breakers are easier to find and half the price of the bolt-on breakers for my Cutler-Hammer Commander (QM/QL)...

    Breaker box height

    That's the exact panel installed the the house I just bought, built in 2006. Mine is installed the other way 'round, with the main breaker at the bottom. I don't take possession until Sept 21, but I'm planning now for the sub-panel to feed the garage. This place was the only home we looked at...
