nope. no such failure mode would exist in a cheapo receptacle

that makes no sense at all. The OP stated they have 120v at the side terminals of the receptacle. that means its not an issue upstream and surely not a loose neutral.

probably deteriorated tangs on the side of the receptacle. i would just replace it

is it an equal waste of time and money to pull it out and get less money than the equivalent time value you spent pulling it out?

oh boy. another mandated money grab

except he isnt gonna use it. just gonna scrap it

i would check how much your local yards are paying for aluminum. its usually not much. and you have to strip it first if you want the most money. do you have a stripping machine?

are you gonna reuse this wire?

pretty rare to run shielded speaker wire... and if you look at the pic you can tell its not shielded

its fine though i woulnt have put them together due to possible inductance/interference

should be fine. seeing as how the exhaust doesnt get hot enough to melt the vent cap, how would it harm the PVC conduit?

not much to it with a 240v plug. was the cord left on the machine when you bought it? do you have a piece of metal between the stingers when pressing the trigger?

anything connected to the neutral bar downstream of the main service and tied back to the main service panel will flow that neutral current. if you touch 2 grounded/bonded objects, there is a potential for the current to go thru you in its trip back to the main.... this is why the code changed...

only way to add a main is a backfed one which would take 2 of those spaces. could do a disco on the feeder but thats arguably more work than just swapping out the panel.

yes its 40a so need 50a rated wire (40x1.25). max beaker can be 100a will need a disco in the shed and of course it will need to be hardwired

yup. yikes :eek: :shocking: o_O

i mustve missed that

Lol hadnt even gotten to that yet Not to mention the funky conduit its coming thru at the top.

Looks like a 3-wire feed w/ bonded neutral but theres also a separate ground bar on the right? When was this panel installed? If recently, its a code violation as well What does the stranded copper go to? Ground rod?

What is feeding the shop subpanel?Another panel in the shop or a panel in a different building? If that is the only panel in the shop, there is a code violation since there are more than 6 handles and you are out of room regardless for more circuits Even though its technically a separate...
