Every year, the Honda ST forum I'm in has a long weekend group ride in the fall. We stay at a campground in Davis, WV., and ride all day each day. We see plenty of spinning wind turbines.
Some of us are working on that every day.
Why is GFI not required?
Why doesnt it need GFCI if its over 50A?
No receptacle it's hardwired but if it's an outbuilding, on a pedestals, or detached garage then 210.8 b applies when not in or on the dwelling unit and it cuts off 1 phase gfci at 50 amps. You'll be hard pressed to enforce gfi over 60 amps 1 phase until more become commercially available. But technically non-amended 210.8a doesn't care about the branch circuit size but everywhere I've seen has seriously amended this code section locally.
No, nope, and no.
For 1000s of years we used various animals, boat types, wind propulsion, manual rowing and walking. We added in the last 300 rail, air travel, personal vehicles using ICE or steam from fossil fuels for propulsion, and then eventually nuclear, solar although limited, hydrogen fuel cell, and stored electricity from other sources. If you go back 300 years and ask a guy if he would take a train and give up his horse that involves mining coal and pumping and storing water using a proprietary rail measurement do you think he would do it. But people jumped at the chance to clean up the manure in cities when it worked.
Good info, all valid. I was just noting that the stuff being pushed is not a solution to the problem.
