Jerk! Exactly what I want to do. where are you located?

Hmmm... That's what I was wondering. How would that even work? Reduce the ac voltage?

I bought this for 150$: And it's hard wired for one speed. Is there a fan controller I can get at one of the big box HD/Lowes to control this thing at L,M,H different speeds?

Thought this was neat.

Lmao! There was a bunch of "those are junk I will throw them out for you..." Thinking about a better primer or sealer and probably seeing if he can get a bunch done so I don't rattle can but use a gravity feed spray gun instead...

I'm not 100% but I think he said 124v on one and 106v on the other or something like that. He said the difference was bad enough. He does a lot with the poco I guess.

So, I really am keeping them. I want to clean them up a little though. I have a retired dad who is bored, who also has a giant air compressor and blast cabinet - oh yea and time. So I took two over for him to try out... They cleaned up decent. Obviously, lots of pitting, I mean character...

Ok, looks like a tree limb at one point fell on the overhead lines and loosened the connections at the connection to the service. Go figure!

The limestone guy said I had it good enough for a driveway but to scrape out down to sand if I was putting in concrete. It's down. I just need to find some 3pt attachment that will do a good final grade like a york rake or something!

Ugh... you guys missed the mark... Don't tell his wife, but what he really needs to do is just buy a bigger air compressor with a bigger motor!!! Bahaha!!! more tools!!!

I'm putting some 23A down for my driveway base and have removed the sod and most of the topsoil but I am not down to sand just yet. The house is newer construction and the ground is really sandy so I'm not sure I need to be on clean all sand or if my dirt with gravel in it is good enough. Pics...

Electrician friend confirmed what I did. 115v on one leg. Called DTE (LPC) to come investigate. Old transformer and **** connections. Yes Wylie I read what you said and it's spot on.

Electrician coming out tomorrow I guess to go through the meter and the disconnect. I can't believe the neutral would be earth, but I see no other wires. I'll have to take some pics. I'll let you know what the electrician discovers.

Voltage drops on one leg when load is applied. 120v with no load.

Not mine, but a friends. He has an older house at the end of an industrial district, only house on the street. The main high voltage is huge 3 phase awesomeness powering these factories. His house is fed with one line from this to a small transformer and I don't think there is a neutral back...

Hmmm... Ireland... 230v... I wonder how that stuff works.

that's what she said.

I wouldn't worry about it now. You only need the neutral "common" for 120v so for your welder and a/c you should be fine.

you just pull the meter, der... LOL!!!

Nice pics. Could your receptacle be wired on the load side? Looks like you have enough UF to pull up and wirenut that neutral if it's nicked. You required to have both a gfci breaker and recep?
