I am closing this thread in accordance with forum rules. This forum is intended to assist electricians, electrical contractors, inspectors, engineers, and other members of the electrical profession with their job related duties. If you are not an electrician, we are not permitted to help you perform your own electrical installation or maintenance work.
The reason is that the forum?s owner does not want a person to get an answer to the question they asked, but not get answers to the dozens of other questions they should have asked and were unaware they needed to ask. You need to understand that we learn in college has very little to do with what electricians learn during their apprenticeship. Examples include wiring methods, wire sizes, load limits, conduit types, wire types, supporting of conduit, conduit bend limits, extending existing circuits, GFCI requirements, AFCI requirements, derating requirements, lock-out-tag-out requirements, and post-installation testing methods. We don?t know, and can?t know, how much of this you already understand. Mike doesn?t want anyone to get injured by any incidents related to electrical installations. But he also doesn?t want to be sued by the injured party?s relatives on the basis of him not telling you enough to keep you safe.
I have been involved in the Mike Holt Code Forum for over a dozen years. It has taught me more than I can begin to describe. It is a great resource, and EEs have been a great source of information for the other forum members. So I encourage you to stick around.
