Hi all. First time poster here. I did find one thread on here that touches upon this topic, but my setup is a bit different. I want to install a TV antenna on the south wall of the house or perhaps the eve above it, The roof is concrete tile, so I don't want to try mounting anything up...
Hi,
I have what seems an unusual situation, and two electricians I've consulted say "I've never seen that before".
An outbuilding put up in the early 90's. They re-used an old 60 amp double pull 4 fuse panel. There is a 3 wire underground service line with two insulated hot aluminum stranded...
Anyone ever had job like this, I see few companies are allowing electricians to apply and if successful says state of the art training...
Just anything you know or heard about that type of job. Thx T.
Hi everyone,
Completed EICR for property recently and found there is a hole in the service head on neutral side, meaning live parts accessible by a finger. Photo attached.
Does anyone knows best way to repair it? I've tried to find replacement element but couldn't find anything.
Many thanks
I have an old 30 breaker electrical service panel (from the early 1980's) that the main breakers are twisting to the side more and more and the cover panel no longer fits properly over them. I have decided that it is time to replace the service panel with a new one, as I feel this is turning...
I have 200amp connection, with the meter and service disconnect at the road (see pictures). House panel is about 75 feet from the service disconnect at the road.
1) Assuming I need 4/0-4/0-4/0-2/0 AL wire sizes (considered a sub panel), exactly what type of wires are required to run from the...
Hi Guys,
I have a looped service in my house, concerned about the cable going next door. It looks old and brittle (I have not touched) . It was installed about 1955, do you think SP Energy Networks would replace the cable
Hello all,
I am looking to run 1.5 conduit underground 100 feet to my garage. I want 100 amps of electrical service - 2-2-2-4 wire URD or should I look at copper? WOuld copper 4-4-4-6 support it?
I am not worried about code because I am away from all that - but I don't want to burn my house down.
Hello, I am working in the state of VA and they use the 2015 State of VA code. I am upgrading to a 400 amp service the meter base supports two panels dual lugs in it. One panel will be a 200 breaker "MAIN" and other will be future use. I know how to wire most of it but really unsure how I would...
I am doing the rough-in wiring on my house and will be using a licensed electrician to wire my panels, so this is purely a rough-in question. We are installing a 320 amp service, using two side by side 200 amp panels. I would assume that each panel should be fed by a separate service wire from...
Been away to the family’s lodge in aviemore. Great cabin, but missing one thing; Internet!
my mobile data ran out, and no Wi-fi coverage. Best we could get was 3G on my wife’s phone.
Does anyone know a mobile internet dongle or access point that we could leave up there and use on a PAYG...
Is Stephens 2-2-4 Aluminum Urd Service Entrance Cable okay to use from a 60 amp breaker off my main box outside on the pole to a panel in my shed about 50 feet away?
Or any make for that matter.
Does anyone know where I can pick these up in general.
They seem to be scarce.
I have a particular need at the moment for a Hotpoint Aquarius+ WDF740.
Wiring diagrams and fuses and such.
Thanks
It's not very often I praise a company but for once I will!
Almost a year ago I bought a 2nd hand Fluke 6500-2 from ebay. It was in almost unused condition complete with leads, barcode scanner, software etc. It arrived, I chucked it in the corner and I immediately forgot all about it. I was...
Hey all, I've got a question about a new apartment I'm getting. I recently had a home inspection done on it and the inspector noted that my panel was double tapped and drawing what might be a little too much power for its rated size.
The apartment is a 700 sqft one bedroom and all appliances...
Basic question..jist trying to gain some knowledge.
I have 2 breaker boxes in my home. Each have 100 amp main breakers.
One is not a sub to the other. Both are serviced directly from the meter outside.
Should I assume that my house has a 200 amp service coming in? Just split between the 2...
