Some one had tried to weld a stud and use a slide hammer on the second tube, so I worked on the other three. Before After Before After Before After The weapon: 1 tube at a time, 3 freeze/thew cycles each. Worked better than I expected. Would not pass a 5/8" ball before, 2 will...

What year code are looking at? In 2008 this section deals conductors in parallel and would not apply. (F) Conductors in Parallel. Where conductors are run in parallel in multiple raceways or cables as permitted in 310.4, the equipment grounding conductors, where used, shall be run in parallel...

You can use an online calculator, here's a link to some various ones: http://www.electrician2.com/calculators/elcal.html

I have been failed for not upsizing to #6 grounding cunductor with #2 on a 100 amp circuit. My local amendments prohibit using non-threaded conduit and fittings for ground, so I always pull a ground wire.

#6 UF is only rated for 55 amps, so a 50 amp breaker would be fine. The reason I mentioned the 110 volt circuits is you are only allowed one feed to detached building, so restoring the old damagred feed is not an option once the new wire is installed.

Norcal is right on this one, even it defies logic. Perhaps someday this part of the code will be refined. It sounds like the OP wants to power a detached garage/shed with both 120 volt and 240 volt loads. If so he needs a four wire feed and ground rods at the existing breaker panel in the...

Perhaps this will help, switches used by eagle lifts: http://www.eagleequip.com/manuals/FaxSheets/Switches.pdf

If it is on a 2 pole breaker 210.4 (C) exception 2 allows it.

They go on the bottom pairs of screws, below the red button. Are you trying to protect the RPC, if not just jumper them.

That would be a flitch plate. http://www.toolbase.org/PDF/DesignGuides/flitchplate.pdf Steel beam chart: http://codes.richmond.ky.us/Refs/Chart%20for%20steel%20beams.pdf

My stapler, from the movie..... Your co-workers may take it as threat:)

Your compressor should use 2 hots and a ground. The neutral is not used. Just tape it off.

The srew in adapter and 410.90 don't mix. 410.90 Screw Shell Type. Lampholders of the screw shell type shall be installed for use as lampholders only. Where supplied by a circuit having a grounded conductor, the grounded conductor shall be connected to the screw shell.

Assuming it has 36 slots in the stator, it can be rewound single phase, you will have to use an external starting relay and capacitor. It will cost more than buying a new single phase motor. 10 Hp single phase is common in agricultural applications.

In 2008: 300.3 Conductors. (A) Single Conductors. Single conductors specified in Table 310.13(A) shall only be installed where part of a recognized wiring method of Chapter 3. Exception: Individual conductors shall be permitted where installed as separate overhead conductors in accordance with...

7/8" OD is the size of 3/4" copper water pipe. Home Depot or Lowes should have the compression rings. As far as the humming, be sure the CS is turning off the starting winding. If you have a clamp on ampmeter put it on T8 and be sure the current drops to 0 when the motort is up to speed. When...

Back home again. So If I understand T8 goes int the windings, T5 goes to CS, the other 2 wires on the CS, one goes to the windings and the other goes to the capacitor. Looks like you should remove the new wire completely, then move the winding wire from the CS and hook it to the capacitor...

I don't know if this will help you, but here's the wiring. the c.s. and the capacitor may in reverse order may be on T8 instead of T5, maybe one on each.. With the cacitor disconected and the wires to isolated, what are the ohm readings between the three wires? (T5 T8 and new wire) maybe by...

The cap can be hooked up either way. One wire to each terminal. Unhook the wires to the cap and check for continuity between T5 T8 and the new wire. If there is now no continuity between T5 and T8 then tape the new wire and use T5 T8.

The new wire looks to be a replacement for either T5 or T8 Let's check all the windings. unhook the wires. T1 and T2 should have continuity with a ohmmeter and to no others T3 and T4 should have continuity with a ohmmeter and to no others Hook the 2 wires together that are for the capicitor...
