Re: AC Breaker panels... sub panels... Electrical codes, etc.
240 400 A is a newer item so I'm not surprised someone used a 3 phase unit. A guy I work with looked into the 400 amp setup and changed his mind when he saw the price. I used 0000 copper between my

Re: AC Breaker panels... sub panels... Electrical codes, etc.
You can split a 400 amp run but each pair of conductors should be sized to handle 400 amp fault current. The conductor needs to match the fuse or breaker that feeds it. Your sub panel is 200 amps so

Re: AC Breaker panels... sub panels... Electrical codes, etc.
I don't know about using a 3Phase disconnect, but I don't see a problem personally. Its pretty obvious whats happening inside the disco. You wouldn't want to use 3phase panels this way. You don't have

I have a question if I am legal by code rules. I bought this place 4 years ago and here is how it was wired. , I have my own 400 amp transformer on a utility pole in the yard, at the bottom of the

Re: AC HiPot tester question
to RICH SEZ... A 15kV - tested Tune-C would do the job - provided that the DC blocker cap was ahead of the Tune-C. With a 7000V anode supply, and a g-g triode, the AC anode potential would be c. +/¨C

Re: Who makes this part?
dialco makes a nice plug in neon lamp. Theis standard socket takes leds from 5 to 28 VDC (with built in resistor for each voltage) or a neon. Very nice stuff. We use them on front panels of our test

Re: AC HiPot tester question
Jim, I'm familiar about the whisker problem, but by what I've read from several places, that happens over time and not instantly. By that, Jennings would be saying that these whiskers grow instantly

Re: House wiring revisited.
The fourth wire is in the cable to insure the safety ground does not carry current. Many 240 volt things use 120 volt functions referenced to the return placing current on the return leg. The new

The issue is not what the latest NEC requirements happen to be, it's questions like: Does it make electrical sense that to be "safe" we need 4 wires for a 240v circuit, where 2 of the 4 wires carry
