Re: uninsulated overhead grounded conductor

Ed, you are right. I didn't notice that on their site. Well, I guess that blows their authority. The analogy they give is more than misleading its shows a basic ignorance of electrical theory. You know, I've always suspected electrical inspectors...

I get a kick out of their advertsing that all their inspections are carried out by licensed PEs.

Why anyone would wnat their home inspected by a PE is beyond me.

I'd rather have someone who spend years in the home construction trade doing a home inspection. At least they will have seen most anything and will likely recognise something unusual.

Most PEs have never had anything whatsoever to do with home construction other than to seal a boilerplate drawing now and then.

Quote from the above mentioned site.

Every electrical service has some amps and some volts; the typical average home needs 100 amps and 110-220 volts.

Atleast now we know where the 220V service is coming from

Doesn't typical and average mean about the same thing in the above statement?

Charlie,

obviously you have average homes. Now within this group of average homes there are some variations. The particular homes being described here would be the most common types of average homes.

Wait a minute Roger, you're getting me confused?

Re: uninsulated overhead grounded conductor

Sam, it could mean the average average home or the typical typical home in this case.

Heck, I don't know.

Re: uninsulated overhead grounded conductor

Well, I was pretty clear, I think I meant the typical average Home

Edit: Regular, regular typical!

Re: uninsulated overhead grounded conductor

Well I think it would be better described as the average typical home.

Re: uninsulated overhead grounded conductor

average homes aren't typical at all. hard to find actual average homes at all.

problem is the x.3 baths and x.7 closets, x.4 bedrooms. let alone the average family with 2.3 kids. which part is missing, typically, on average, anyway.

That is so weird! I used that line on an inspector just the other day and he gave me this kinda approving look, winked, signed it off and walked away. Must be a subculture thing or something.

But, then again, it was a typical average home.

Re: uninsulated overhead grounded conductor

Typical
1. representative: having all or most of the characteristics shared by others of a type and therefore suitable as an example of the type
2. conforming to expectation: conforming to what is expected

Average
1. typical amount: the level, amount, or degree of something that is typical of a group or class of people or things

I'm glad this ain't a typical average thread or Mike Holt would have to acquire more web space.
