Re: AC Breaker panels... sub panels... Electrical codes, etc.
#### The above was a joke. IMO ur 100' length [200' loop] of 4 ga wire is WAY too small for a 4x10. 4 ga wire isn't even rated to handle 110 A.....never mind the 4-6 x that current.... every 8.3

Re: AC HiPot tester question
Since I prefer single capacitors as a blocker, I always use Draloric or Rosenthal caps, they are available at all kind of capacities and voltages. The are also very nice caps from Russia on the market

Re: AC Breaker panels... sub panels... Electrical codes, etc.
Hal I don't take everything back. We've been talking residential services here not commercial. The actual current ampacity for 2/0 copper is 190 amps but it is allowed to be fused to 200 for

Re: AC Breaker panels... sub panels... Electrical codes, etc.
Size 3/0 AWG wire is the correct guage to use for 200 ampere service, not 2/0 AWG. In any circumstance the wire diameter needs to be sized to the breaker protecting it. In a dead short situation you

Re: AC Breaker panels... sub panels... Electrical codes, etc.
All you need to do is add a pair of 200 amp breakers in series with each run and you will be legal. The only 400 amp run needs to be between the 400 amp breaker and the two 200 amp units. Rich & DJ

Re: AC Breaker panels... sub panels... Electrical codes, etc.
Well I guess all is not good because the wire running to the house and the wire running to the shed are alum for 200 amp service each. I can see it in the disconnect where it is dual 200amp lines,

Re: House wiring revisited.
That makes sense, so if the Low burner setting on my old 3-wire GE stove pulls 1A at 120v, there is c. a 1100 ?V potential between the third wire on the frame and gnd.

Re: Fried glitch R...... from an oversized HV fuse
My perhaps stupid guess is that the capacitor will not be shorted if you check it with an ohmmeter.
