Re: 240 recep. phasing
Hey all, something for two of you.
Charlie:
"However, any straight 240 volt, 1? equipment may go from the high phase to either of the other phases with impunity."
Thanks, this is what I thought. So, this type of thing is okay assuming the recept. is dedicated?
Charlie:
Number 1.) Rest assured Charlie. My favorite code (assuming that any of us really have one) is ART 110.12. And I seemingly unlike those around me, am aware that this article is not confined to the 'mechanical' aspects of the trade (assuming that any of them have read it ...apparently not).
2.) I'm not at home; I'm visiting with my mother in Texas and my books are in Cali. Though I can tell you that (to my spurred recollection) that I realize yes:
Charlie -
"250.8 Connection of Grounding and Bonding Equipment. Grounding conductors and bonding jumpers shall be connected by exothermic welding, listed pressure connectors, listed clamps, or other listed means. Connection devices or fittings that depend solely on solder shall not be used. Sheet metal screws shall not be used to connect grounding conductors to enclosures."
was the line I was thinking of. In fact, now that I recall, the part about "two threads" was an FPN, an elaboration (speculation/opinion) (I own the handbook), or something. I didn't think that was actual code...
I'll be returning mid next week.
To tell you the truth, its getting pretty late again and I've really only had a chance to jump around through these threads.
3.) RSvetti -
"Whoah, sorry, typo. ------> Midpoint of delta GROUNDED, not connected to GROUNDED CONDUCTOR via any other means than BONDING AT THE MAIN. I know, I know...."
4.) Being that I'm visiting with Moms, I am trying not to go too in depth into the forum. After all, this is supposed to be a vacation... As such, I probably missed that thread you're talking about. However, you guys seem to know your stuff; this is refreshing. I'll definately be checking this out a bit more when I get home. BTW, which thread was that anyway (the one that you wrote to me)?
5.) A glimpse into me:
My name is Robert Stiavetti, born January 8, 1980 (June 30, 2005) in California where I have lived all of my life. I am twenty five years old and have lived (for the most part) independently since the age of twelve (yes, twelve).
Pertinent to the trades, I have been "another day older and deeper in dept" for the past seven years. Of those years, my experience varies. I was a "skilled laborer" learning alot about pain and building for the first year or so (half of that time I spent as an apprentice to most things construction, outside of plumbing and foundations [I had a bad experience once] and as
supervisor to labor crews.
After this, I decided to narrow my scope a bit and was a general carpenter, electrician (mostly carpenter) for the next three years.
Please see: I am the AHJ, note on drywall screws>
My partner and I then decided to split trades (long story): he would focus solely on the carpentry end of our grand master plan, and I would focus solely on electrical. Hence wither, I became an "electrician" (now of about an exclusive three or so years experience). Combined, I would gather I am an electrician of about four years. Unfortunately, most of that is exclusive to residential (due to the grand master plan).
As a result, I admit I am not the strongest in theory and actually just beginning to get more confortable with the heavier industrial applications, but am fairly certain that I can hold my own. That, and when it comes to the code, I have a fairly sturdy working knowledge. I will also admit that the properties of magnetism still elude me. Lets face it, flux is still somewhat of a mystery.
6.) Insight into the situation:
The guy has signed a ten year lease and owns only Welders @ 240v (as far as utilization equipment on wheels go). He promises to plug nothing else into these holes.
I've heard that modern wire lives about forty years. I'm with you; it's a bad idea (mostly).
Just so yah know, this is a followup on some very serious hacks that have no bussiness playing with fire.
Plugs are rated at 50a.
Overcurrent protection is at 30a.
Wire is way oversized for potential future applications and bungling idiots at a number 6.
And the pipe is 1 1/4.
Sew me Charlie, the terminal on the little plug thingy said "green" next to it.
7.) A torrid glance at the S@*t I see everyday:
BTW, that guy with the cover plates is either f$cki$g rich or extra terrestrial man!

P.S. Utilization equipment is plural
Edit: I'm sure this thing is full of typos.
